(SPOT.ph) The quarantine can give you a serious case of cabin fever and you’re probably itching to book that flight to your next bucket-list destination once things settle down. Getting to go somewhere else seems like a dream, but who says boarding a plane is the only way to get around the world? Thanks to technology, you can virtually visit almost any place of your choosing—amazing art exhibits included—and explore all sorts of places beyond your home. If you’re in the mood to listen to talk shows and cool jams, the Radio Garden website hosts radio stations from all over the globe and allows you to tune in with just one click.
Every green dot, or seed, on the map represents a radio station broadcasting live right now. Click on one and you’ll be able to tune in to that particular radio station. Hover the white circle on several green dots and the website will choose the most popular station in that area to play. It covers Metro Manila, but if you’re interested in exploring the Philippines, it also hosts stations in other regions and provinces.
Feeling adventurous? You can go beyond the archipelago and land in another country completely. Rotate the globe enough and you’ll find yourself in places like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, or even India, Greenland, and New York. It also makes suggestions and lists down nearby radio stations and categorizes them by city.
If you have a particular station you want to listen to, you can look it up on the site’s search bar. It also lets you search radio stations based on location so you can jump from station to station without having to manually move the map.
You can also let your friends know that you’re listening to a particular station with the site’s share function. Like a station’s lineup of music or content? It’s easy to bookmark your faves for later listening.
Try it for yourself at the Radio Garden website.
