Radio in 2022
I love radio shows. There's an energy and excitement about someone sharing music they are enjoying with you. The weirder the better. In 2022 anyone can host a show that anyone can listen to anywhere. Many of my favourite artists are now hosting radio shows. What a time to be alive!
Here are a few of my current and past favourites:
Thom Yorke (GOD) is hosting In The Absence Thereof.... on SONOS. (I made it this long without mentioning Thom or Radiohead)
the xx are hosting Interludes Radio on Apple Music. I especially loved episode 3 hosted by Romy
Justin Vernon ( a.k.a. Bon Iver ) is hosting Song Chest Radio Hour on Radio Milwaukee
Virgil Abloh (R.I.P.) hosted Televised Radio on Apple Music
St. Vincent prescribes the perfect playlist on Mixtape Delivery Service on Apple Music
Q-Tip hosts Abstract Radio on Apple Music
Go forth and listen!
