It eliminates the onus of choice and leads you down musical rabbit holes free of the algorithm. I like college radio stations because there are no ads for tires or whatnot.

it's free and 100% human, I recommend NTS Radio, which is web-based and has a huge archive of recorded shows in many genres and topics. Bandcamp and Soundcloud also have playlists that feel more carefully curated than Spotify's I think. oh and college radios are a great place for discovering new music too. There's a site called campus-fm.com that let's you tune into different ones across the US :)

there’s not much that’ll make you feel like a person existing with your own thoughts and feelings until you start tuning into community radio stations, where the biggest sponsor is the local animal shelter.
they’re doing some of the most fun stuff over there, because radio is whatever they want it to be! and it’s such a fun way to get cool music recommendations. On college radio stations especially, there are often communist programs and book clubs, which we love. But check out your local radio’s website and see what’s up n coming.
Just, great stuff all around. Something about scheduled programs or DJ sets that you look forward to listening heals the body I think. Slower gratification, something or another.
And you don’t need to be in the car to tune in, there are tons of radio apps available to supplement your spotify time.

Quiet and startling and filmed entirely out of focus which sounds like it would be challenging but I found the blurriness so nice like a painting and the dialogue was so ordinary it felt like from another world
