Armchair Travel Links:

I like to listen to local radio when I travel. When I get back to the grind, I click on the link to one of these radio stations that I found better than the usual corporate crap crowding the airwaves these days. These are mostly locally focused radio stations that give you a feel of the town they are broadcasting from.

Jazz (Not That Smooth Jazz Crap)

Independent (You never quite know what is going to played

  • KUWR 89.1 in Laramie Wyoming leans has a bit of a country feel
