Discover Pandora’s Latest Haven

The Pandora Radio was one of the first applications promising to make available streaming internet radio on your iPhones. This was truly unique as personalized music based on your favorite songs, artists, or composers could be delivered via the Music Genome Project.

Installation and registration for Pandora is highly simple. All you need is to enter the names of your favorite artists and you will get a play station automatically generated with the music you like. You can further refine your collection with “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”.

The iPhone has also been applauded by TechCrunch. Reports suggest that iPhone listeners attracted 3.3 million tracks every 2 seconds the other weekend. The music stream functions on EDGE, 3G, and Wi-Fi networks.

Check out the World’s Tiniest Radio

The world’s smallest radio is here! According to a new study, the carbon nanotube- a hollow tube-shaped molecule 10,000 times smaller than human hair- can perform all the basic functions of a radio when it's wired up to a few other simple parts, a new study shows.

When a radio wave of a specific frequency impinges on the nanotube, it begins to vibrate vigorously. An electric field applied to the nanotube forces electrons to be emitted from its tip.

This nanotube radio is over 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 times smaller than the Philco vacuum tube radio from the 1930s.

The single nanotube serves, at once, as all major components of a radio: antenna, tuner, amplifier, and demodulator. (Berkeley physics research)

Check out America’s Longest Running Radio Show

America’s longest running radio show happened to emerge out of a Barn Dance. In 1925, a Nashville radio station WSM, went on air. Its director, George D. Hay organized a Saturday Night Show, also called “barn dance”. Live performances ranged from minstrel acts to military bands, traditional numbers to country-side music.

The show that preceded the “barn dance” was a classical music program named The Music Appreciation Hour. Hay introduced the barn dance by saying “For the past hour you have been listening to music taken largely from the Grand Opera, but from now on we will present the Grand Ole Opry.” The name was stamped, and it continued to be broadcast under the same name for the next six decades.
