Radio is a Foreign Country live

Welcome to RADIO IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY!, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, listener-supported music discovery platform and online radio service. We are a loose group of explorers, collectors, and curators dedicated to discovering hidden gems buried in the trash heaps of history. Our approach to music curation and radio programming is grounded in a do-it-yourself ethos and an aesthetic inspired by ethnographic surrealism. Curated by humans not algorithms, our livestream follows a unique mixtape format and features cut-ups of international radio broadcasts (am, fm & shortwave), field recordings, ethnographic film, vintage records & cassettes, and digital ephemera from the far reaches of the internet. Our mission is to explore forgotten and new ways of making radio and to facilitate greater access and exposure to sounds and music not sufficiently documented by the commercial music industry.​​ ​ For inquiries and submissions, please contact us at info@radioisaforeigncountry.org​​
