Radio Calico 🇺🇸

Radio Calico embodies the spirit of independent, community-driven online radio, operating as a decentralized network of projects rather than a centrally-organized station. It thrives on contributions from diverse DJs, artists, musicians, and enthusiasts, offering anyone the potential to create and broadcast shows under its banner. Programming is incredibly diverse, ranging from experimental electronic music to spoken word and field recordings, reflecting its 'patchwork' approach. Radio Calico operates primarily as an internet radio station, streamed online for a global audience. It embodies a 'do-it-yourself' (DIY) spirit, focusing on independent content creation and sharing, often on a non-profit or non-commercial basis, with sharing music and ideas as the primary goal. Listeners can expect a flexible schedule dependent on contributor availability, found on project websites, social media, or blogs. Interaction with listeners is encouraged through chat rooms and online forums, fostering a strong community. While show archiving depends on resources, many projects strive to preserve past broadcasts.
