local/college radio is the absolute best way to find new music, especially when they are non-commercial and have a lot of freedom with what they play. sometimes you need to look past some bad picks but that’s part of the fun. also!! when u get into a habit of tuning in routinely you hear the same DJs frequently and get to know them and it’s so cute. AND local radio stations often run events and you can get involved and meet your favourite DJs and all of a sudden it’s not just discovering new music it’s a community!!! long live college radio!!

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.

The best way of finding new music, tune into your local collage‘s radio station! Usually student ran as well! It can help you find small artist and even local artists. I love tuning in I find myself Shazamming half the music there :)

Literally cannot get off that app. One woman's trash is another woman's treasure is so tangibly true as I text the english mums about their old dresses and tops I'm buying off them for a fiver. Currently waiting for a pair of sandals from 'mumov2' which are slightly delayed because she was surprised with a little getaway last weekend. Absolutely delighted for her.
