breakfast radio gives me the heebs because of the forced jollity but this is a really cool idea and looks well-executed

so far the rest of the world sounds like a great place to wake up

Anyway, the experience reminded me of Global Breakfast Radio, one of my very favourite internet projects, baby of @sebemina.bsky.social. If you also enjoy snapshots (earshots?) of radio chasing breakfast across the world, have a listen:
