About The Listening Room

What is The Listening Room?

A free web app for listening to live radio and ambient sound on a 3D vintage gramophone. Pick a record from the crate and the gramophone changes the record, drops the needle and plays it, in front of a cozy animated scene.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it is free, with no sign-up, no ads and no cookies. It works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer.

Which radio stations can I listen to?

Local stations from London, Ontario (CBC Radio One, Fresh Radio 103.1, FM96, BX93 and more), All India Radio and Vividh Bharati from Guwahati, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, favourites such as BBC World Service, KEXP and triple j, and about 50,000 more through search.

Can I listen to music without talk?

Yes. The Ambient crate has lofi, coding, jazz and electronic music, and rain, waves, wind chimes, a crackling fire and Your weather, which are made right in your browser.

What is Your weather?

With your permission, the scene and sounds follow the real weather and time of day where you are: sunrise, midday, sunset and night, with rain, wind, snow, thunder and birdsong to match. Your location is rounded to about 1 km and only used to fetch the weather.

Can I share a station?

Yes. The share button copies a link that plays the same station and scene. If a station is off the air when someone opens it, the room plays another one and says so.

Ideas or problems?
