Similarly to audiobooks, radio stations can be listened to via Radiospecialist apps or websites - such as TuneIn (https://tunein.com/radio/home/)  and Radioplayer (https://radioplayer.co.uk/node/2) which give you free access to hundreds of radio stations from both the UK and abroad.

If you have a particular favourite radio station then commercial stations usually have their own individual websites and apps where you can listen to a particular station. BBC Sounds (www.bbc.co.uk/sounds) is the app for all the BBC radio stations and podcasts.

 

Listening is simple:

  • Choose a streaming service: (e.g., BBC Sounds, TuneIn).
  • Visit the website or download the app. You may need to create an account with an email address and password.
  • Search for a station: Use the search bar to find a station of interest.
  • Click 'Play': Tap the play button to start streaming live radio.
