This! I recently ditched Spotify and rediscovered radio in the past few weeks. There are so many great songs I've come across from bands I enjoy that I had never heard of because, as someone else said, Spotify's algorithm is way overfit.

It's also great sometimes to discover great music from genre you usually don't like, or... just be exposed to songs you don't like. This is what helps building a musical culture.

Please allow me to recommend FIP, as a human (it's a classic here but there's no such thing as recommending too much FIP) : https://www.radiofrance.fr/fip

FIP and NTS are my goto's. The discovery features for shows on NTS and the "in focus" specials are great, so many good opportunities there for serendipitous listening. Will def check out radio paradise

FIP is broadcasting in FM in France, so no big news on that one, for me. But i will investigate NTS. I knew their radios streams, but it seems they also have some pretty niche podcasts !

Radio Paradise is a great alternative to FIP.

Both are classics. I like SomaFM-GrooveSalad too. Oh and BBC6, or course. [The podcast of Guy Garvey is an absolut must, in my sunday schedule]

France Inter Paris (FIP) it's awesome!

And remember you can always get the audio steam through HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), on its M3U format, or others with better quality. There are many Android apps like Transistor to enjoy the stream, and even VLC can open these, in order to avoid using a web browser.

Likewise, I prefer online radios than big tech algorithms that craft my music experience.

For a certain range of indie pop, KCRW's Eclectic24 is great: https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/eclectic24

I don't know if its the best at this, but I've been listening to radio from around the world at https://radio.garden/

Have you tried searching other user’s playlists instead? At least for me, that’s how I have been using Spotify’s to discover new music.
