it was on 'dago radio sound' in madagascar's capital, which as far as i can tell is a community-based station

a bit heartbreaking when i hear something amazing, it doesn't show on shazam, and will never be able to find anything out about it. makes for a different listening experience however

I was on an email thread last week which started with Radio Garden and continued with other recommendations:

https://radiooooo.com - Music from everywhere and every time--just pick a country and a decade.

https://mynoise.net/ - An amazing collection of 200+ customizable soundscapes, field recordings and noise generators.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/centuries-of-sound/id1268446190?i=1000501680808 - 3 hour mixes of music & sounds from each year going back to the late 1890’s. It's up to 1932.

(One of the first things I found on Radio Garden was a station in Utqi​agvik [f.k.a. Barrow], Alaska, the northernmost American city, playing "Puttin' on the Ritz" by Taco.)

i was jarred by an ad for creamette pasta sauce while listening to a station in kurdistan, but then an ad came on directed to teachers in minnesota, i think the ads are localized to where you are
