Tune in to thousands of live internet radio streams—right on your Mac—from Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Poland, Zimbabwe, and everywhere in between with Broadcasts.

What we love: Browsing by country. Discover techno from Germany, reggaeton from Paraguay, classical from Estonia, and K-pop from South Korea. There are plenty of talk and sports-radio options too—perfect for language learners. Adding your favorites to a collection syncs them across the Broadcasts app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

Quick tip: Want to doze off to Swedish jazz pop or love songs from Portugal? Set a Sleep Timer (Controls > Sleep Timer) to have Broadcasts switch off automatically. Or listen to the live stream of your favorite podcast by pasting the URL into File > New > Station.

Meet the creator: Irish developer Steven Troughton-Smith contributed to one of the first iPhone games on the App Store, Lights Off, and makes the handy color-palette utility Pastel.
