Log on, tune in, rock out

It’s funny sometimes how one word can have two quite opposite meanings.

These days, the word “wireless” is de rigueur for any gadget hitting the market. But say the word to your Granny and she’ll get all misty-eyed and nostalgic about huddling round a radio set the size of small family car and listening to chamber music with the rest of the family.

Yep, radio has moved on a fair bit since Granny’s heyday and www.radioplayer.co.uk is the latest way to get your fix from the airwaves.

It’s brand new and stands apart from so many other online radio hubs, in that searching for new radio content is made blissfully easy. You really can discover a whole new world of music and chat with just a few clicks.

Which is exactly what I did this weekend – telly is getting so bad, it was nice to immerse myself in some quality broadcasting for a change. And there’s now lots of it. Makes me feel a bit sorry for Granny…
