What is Roam FM?

Roam FM is a web-based radio player that recreates the experience of tuning into radio stations while travelling. It lets you listen to radio broadcasts from around the world through your browser, organised by location and station type. The tool appeals to people who miss the spontaneity of discovering stations on a car radio, want to explore music and talk radio from different countries, or simply prefer radio's pick approach to music discovery over algorithmic playlists. It works as a freemium service, with a free tier offering access to a selection of stations and a paid option for expanded features.
