Sometime check out Radio Paradise. Interesting if not eclectic selection of curated mixes. Non-Meta, user supported. No need to set a user profile if you don’t want to.

I find it interesting what you hear in downtown Columbus (often more) versus my SW location, although the variety of habit there is likely more mixed than my park area.

The Lox (High St) and Bears (Hilliard) both are very good. I used to get Blocks everyday on my way to work and school. Good memories there.

Thanks. Agree it isn’t that hard to type in 5-10 per day. Yes to Merlin letting you manually add to your life list. Maybe I’ll turn in a feature request. It remains a great app.

Thank you for sharing this work. Do you know of a way to scrape the summary data off the sound recording or is a manual transcript to the spreadsheet the only way?
