Pirate radio, turn that shit upTo be pedantic, I believe it is a guerilla radio that is referenced in the original song…
Pedantic radio, turn that shit up
…but yes I was aware.
Pedantic radio, turn that shit up
I have to be particular
I have to be specific
What better place than here?
What better time than now?

I love it when events have their own radio station - burning man and Neotropolis do this
I’ve got a nice little local radio station I like because they play a wide variety of stuff. Not just the same ol top 10 on repeat. Plus very few ads (unless it’s Membership Drive season)
What’s the radio?
Crosley radio model CR3036D – CL
@cris, @shittydwarfYep, that is the model.
I’d like to know also, what a beautiful little object

Someone replied with it elsewhere in the thread :)
Over all a nice little radio. Only thing I’m not a fan of is that it’s only got a micro USB port for its power source. I don’t like micro USB cuz it tends to break. Other than that, it’s got decent sound quality and you can connect to it via Bluetooth and play music from it. It’s tiny and compact.
I’ve seen some videos where folks have replaced micro or mini USB with type c, but it seems a little involved unless you’re already comfortable with electronics. Still a cute little radio though!
Anything good over the air?
There are still a few shortwave broadcasters. You could build your own shortwave receiver from a kit: https://swling.com/db/radio-kits/
There’s a list of stations here: https://www.savenetradio.org/shortwave-radio-station-frequencies/
You can also get into a amateur radio fairly easily. In the US, lots of radio clubs put on license classes, especially for the entry level technician class license. Most other countries have an amateur radio scheme.
Thank for sharing! This is super neat!

Pretty cool little setup
Thanks. Got mine pretty recently and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. It’s nice when you want background noise but don’t wanna curate a playlist on a streaming platform. I have ADHD so I need some kind of background noise to be able to focus on most things. All I have to do is turn it on, sweet deal.
That’s really cool, I used to listen to radio a bunch back in the day, maybe I’ll start again.
What model is it?
Crosley CR3036D
I love radio.
Dad once did radio DJ for a few years professionally, had to have a broadcast license and everything
I’ve thought about getting on the airwaves myself for the fun of it but have no fuckin clue where to start lol
Hamstudy.org is good to cram the license questions, and you can get a basic 2m/70cm band handheld transciever for less than $100 (well, you could pre Random Tarrif Gameshow Time)
My community run station in Valdese, NC is run my fascist and MAGA supporter. I have not worked in radio in like 35 years and thought I would hype a midnight 80s goth show but when I found out they are MAGA i just gave up the idea.
In Germany we quite a few really cool alternative radio stations. They all have their local frequencies, shows and so on, but also share a German-wide morning show. It’s mostly recoded by the bigger projects, like in Berlin, but otherwise it would just take too much resources from small volunteer run stations.
Do you have any info on how to listen to these stations? Like frequencies or a website where schedules are posted?
Assuming you speak German: https://www.freie-radios.de/
Or here a audio platform where a lot of their content is posted afterwards, where you can discover stations and shows: https://www.freie-radios.net/ (albeit those are confusingly similar URLs)
Thank you :)
I love the same 3 songs, bad jokes and ads after every song.
Some stations are like that, but there’s a lot of cool ones out there that play a variety of music and are not for profit so there aren’t many ads. The smaller ones are usually better in that regard. Highly recommend checking out Radio Garden. It shows a bunch of stations that also stream from all over the world, cool stuff.
Bring back pirate radio 🏴☠️ (UK people will remember)

Speaking of which, if anyone is interested, I’m starting a community radio station for Lemmy users, by Lemmy users. Launching this year:
!radiolemmy@lemm.ee || https://radiolemmy.com/
I’ll need DJs and curators to help me make programming blocks. If you have music you’d like to share or a podcast then you are needed! Check the community often; within the next few days I’ll make a post on how you can help contribute.
Woah, that sounds awesome. I’d definitely be interested in helping out with that.
The website for the station is up! Here’s how you can contribute:
https://radiolemmy.com/how-to-contribute-to-radio-lemmy.html
Hmm, the website seems to be down.
Thanks for your interest! This is actually my second attempt at a radio station for Lemmy.
The first go around did okay but the schedule was fairly empty most days. I did have a couple of dedicated DJs who would put on some amazing live shows, but for most of the day the station was just playing random music and the listener count would plummet as such.
This time I have a game plan. Taking my time to make sure I don’t launch until I have a full schedule filled out.
If you know anybody who wants to build a programming block or do a live show, please send them my way! There will be plenty of timeslots available, from 30 minutes in length up to 6 hours. You can make a prerecorded show, or do it live. Music or talk. Whatever you prefer.
I’d be interested in helping with some programming. Maybe a short prerecorded show, that would be cool to get involved.
Perfect! Thank you.
I need prerecorded content as well as live DJs; a regular output of content is preferable so I can get you on the schedule, but anything and everything helps, even if it’s a single 30 minute performance.
Check back on the community in a few days for instructions on how you can contribute (look for a pinned post). And thank you again.
