Orange County, California's public radio station, broadcasting from the University of California at Irvine... eclectic music and engaging talk.

"named after Dandelion Records, the label Peel ran from 1969-1973...we want to serve the needs of the people who create and distribute new and interesting music and provide a unique listening experience, with the spirit of Peel running through all we do. We could also tell you about all the strange, challenging, new, old and different music we play. And the exclusive live recordings and sessions we regularly feature. Or about how we are the official new home of John Peel's legendary Festive Fifty - a broadcasting institution since 1976." We broadcast our monthly shows consecutively, in a schedule that loops 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The new schedule begins at midnight on the 1st of every month.

"In NPR Music's All Songs Considered, host Bob Boilen brings you an eclectic mix of fresh music by emerging and breakout bands and musical icons." The hosts talk a lot. Probably better for music news than music listening.

"Since 1990, The Planet has provided a unique window into the world's diverse, traditional and innovative musics. Good players don't put music into little boxes, so we don't either. You'll hear jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and more. The best from all these genres is artfully combined: each show its own journey with a particular focus, but each one itself richly diverse, yet deliciously interconnected." Listen to archived shows.

"Listen to dig for a diverse mix of great sounds - blues, soul, country, roots, world music, jazz, rock and lots in-between." Dig has three channels: Dig (eclectic), Jazz, and Country.

DJ-mixed modern & classic rock, world, electronica & more. "Each hour of music is carefully blended together to flow smoothly between different musical styles & genres - just like real DJs used to do on FM. We don't use the computer-generated playlists or "carefully researched music libraries" that have sucked the soul out of FM radio - and we never just throw songs together at random the way many web stations do."
