A Musical Time Machine

The Takeaway | Apr 8, 2016

On Friday, we take a step back from the news to explore what's happening online, on television and on the radio that brings the arts, music and entertainment to life.

Melissa Locker is a culture reporter whose work has been featured in The Guardian and Time among others, and this week she brings us www.radiooooo.com. It lets you travel the world with a click of your mouse, using the site as a sort of time machine to various musical periods. Anywhere from Columbia in the 1950s, Tahiti in the 1960s to Lithuania today. 

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
