ISC Guide To Online Radio
Music discovery has always been a central mission of In Sheep’s Clothing. Whether among staff, patrons or record fair-goers, our physical space was aimed at introducing people to hi-fi — while also building a community for sharing and listening to deep music they otherwise might not hear.
As we expand our reach into the digital realm and claim space in the bounty of sites dedicated to sharing music, we must give credit where credit is due. It’s safe to say that a huge part of our music discovery process comes from listening to online radio programs. These portals have contributed so much to the music community while being non-profit, artist driven and operating solely for listeners. If you have the means, please consider donating or becoming a supporting member to help keep the music flowing!
Below is a list of some of our favorite stations and shows from around the world. We hope you spend some time tuning in live as well as digging in to these stations’ vast archives.
