Talk radio stations

Here are 120 working talk stations, gathered from 12 countries. The busiest are Europe 1, RMC FR, Sud Radio and Спутник. Every one of them was tested, so you will not hit a dead stream.

Most talk stations come from The Russian Federation (10), France (5), South Africa (5), Saudi Arabia (5), Spain (4) and Italy (4). They broadcast mainly in english, russian and french. Stations tagged talk often carry related tags too — most commonly news, music, pop and culture — so the same station may appear on several genre pages.

15 of these stations stream at 192 kbps or better, the highest being Canal Sur Radio Andalucía at 320 kbps, which is worth choosing if you are listening on speakers rather than a phone. By format the mix is MP3 (74), AAC+ (26) and AAC (19).

Genre tags only tell you so much: two talk stations from different countries can share a label and almost nothing else. That is worth using rather than working around.

Nothing is needed beyond the browser — no app, no account, no payment. Press play on any talk station and it starts. The heart icon saves a station to your favourites, kept in your own browser and shown at the top of every page here. For stations that broadcast it, the track currently playing appears in the player at the bottom of the screen.
