Web Buzz: Making the world of radio smaller

Feeling disconnected? Click to hear live radio stations around the globe.

Name: Radio Garden

What it does: The website's interactive map of Earth lets you tap into radio stations around the world in real time. It also recounts listeners' stories about how they've used radio to make themselves at home in the world.

What's hot: Take an auditory journey to India, Cuba, Australia, Uganda or across the United States. Click on the "Live" button and tap on the "green dot" radio stations that are transmitting. Use the negative and plus signs in the lower left corner of the computer screen to scroll out or in on the map. The right side of the screen will show your radio station choices within one destination.

What's not: There are no countries named or outlined on the map. You must know, in general, where a city or country is and scroll over to that part of the globe before the name will appear on the screen.
