Five ways to discover new music on the radio
Radio is still one of the easiest ways to find a song you will love. Here is how to make the most of it.
Streaming apps give you what you already know. Radio gives you a surprise. Here are five ways to use it well.
- Listen to a programme, not just a playlist. Presenters choose songs to fit a mood and often tell you the story behind them.
- Write down what you like. When a song grabs you, note the title and artist, or send us a message and ask.
- Try a show outside your usual time. A late-night mix sounds different from morning drive.
- Send a request. Ask for something you have heard once and cannot find.
- Share what you find. A shoutout with your favourite new song is a gift to a friend.
Keep the stream playing while you browse the site. It carries on even when you move between pages.
