Easy Listening on the Internet


We often get emails from internet listeners outside our DAB coverage areas pleading with us to make PASSION for the PLANET available on DAB where they live. Most say they love to listen, and would like to enjoy the station even when they're not at their PC. The answer is a Wifi Radio. It's just like a radio, but it picks up the stations from [no surprise here] your wifi. There are a number of products available, my personal favourite is the Evoke Flow from Pure, but it's about to be challenged by another sexy gizmo from Pure, the Sensia.



The Sensia is a fully connected internet, FM and DAB device, much like the Evoke Flow, but the Sensia also has an app store, so you can use it to check Twitter and Facebook. In fact Pure describe it as the “radio for the Facebook generation". However, I think its 5.7in capacitive touchscreen makes it more like the radio for the iphone generation. Have a closer look here.

The Sensia will be in the shops at the end of the month. If you don't fancy the look of it [or the £250 price tag], and would like something a bit less pricey and more traditional looking, we do heartily recommend the
Evoke Flow.


Of course you don't need a wi-fi radio to listen on the Internet. On every page of our website you can launch our WebPlayer, which has a few wizzy features of its own. It shows title & artist details and gives you the option to buy any tracks you particularly like. The WebPlayer also provides details about interviews and features, including links for more online information.
