There is a very different feeling streaming radio online as compared to getting it off a traditional radio. For me anyway. It's hard to explain. At night, you could pick up many weird stations from around the world here including Iceland and the Eastern Bloc, the Voice of America, sometimes if the conditions were right North American stations. I used to try and guess some of the languages. That was a challenge in itself sometimes.

Thanks to censorship and government interference, you can't listen to certain stations now, e.g. Turkey won't allow you to listen online outside Turkey, Russian stations are blocked thanks to the Ukrainian situation, and even some American stations are blocked. Search engines are near useless for most things nowadays.
