About This Station

**Radio Is a Foreign Country** is a nonprofit, listener-supported internet radio station based in the United States, operating as a 501(c)(3) organization. It offers an endless stream of obscure, mostly retro global music and audio ephemera, with a focus on folk, world ethnic, international, and forgotten vintage sounds. The station's mission, as stated on its website, is to explore forgotten and new ways of making radio while providing greater access to music not sufficiently documented by the commercial industry. Programming is presented in English and leans heavily toward field recordings, rare tracks, and non-commercial, obscure selections from around the world. The site also features a transmission log, chat, email list, and donation page, reinforcing its community-driven, non-commercial ethos.
