I love SomaFM so much. Been a listener for around 20 years, maybe a bit longer. Nice surprise to see this posted today, it must be fate that I happened to wearing my Soma FM t-shirt to work.

ETA: Other stations I listen to sometimes (that have web sites anyway):

Yeah, it's my go to "heads down" music. It's the only mobile app I've ever paid for[0]. Wish I was in SF to celebrate with everyone.

Yep. Same for about 20+ years. IndiePop generally my station while programming.

After over 20 years of nonstop streaming, Proton Radio is evolving!

Starting August 26th, the 24/7 live stream will officially shut down, and all Proton Radio shows will move to YouTube.

:(

Not to be confused with Soma Records.

Big congrats. Listener from the beginning

I found them many years ago because Slackware shipped and still comes with "/usr/bin/soma". I still listen and send soma a few $ to keep them going!

Favorites:

* Left Coast 70s

* Mission Control

* Deep Space One

FWIW, Deep Space One is active now :)

I think I started listening because Clementine shipped with it in the default Radio station list.

I have been listening to groove salad since high school. I was happy to run into the team at defcon and express my gratitude. Also, if you love the station, don't forget to donate/support[1] them.

So much nostalgia going back to SomaFM. I discovered a lot of music from this site over the years. A good reminder to tune back in.

Love these folks. Here's to 25 more years of Groove Salad!

Besides SomaFM I would also recommend https://www.yourclassical.org and FIP radio under Directs section of Radio France app.

YourClassical also has monthly stories for kids podcast https://www.yourclassical.org/podcast/yourclassical-storytim...

Still have my mug from Y2K (groove salad, secret agent, and drone zone tiles)! Thank you Rusty!

I love their SF radio with police chatter - I can't explain, but it's just so engrossing. Genuinely my favourite.

Also, I learned about SomaFM in the past from HN too :)

If you want to cool down after a bad trip nothing beats Drone Zone
