How varostream works
Ten short guides. Each one ends where the feature actually is — in the player if the browser can do it, at the store if it needs the phone. The chip on each card says which before you start reading.
- Works on the web
Discover: radio for the time of day, and for where you are
Breakfast radio in Tokyo while you are mid-afternoon, or whatever is on near you right now.
- Works on the web
Favourites and your library
The heart, where things go, and what happens to them if you never sign in.
- Works on the web
Search: one box, three kinds of answer
Stations, shows and individual episodes from the same query.
- Works on the web
Podcasts, in the same player as the radio
Follow a show, resume where you stopped, and share one queue with live radio.
- Works on the web
Two language settings, and why they are separate
The language the site speaks, and the languages the stations speak. Not the same question.
- Partly on the web
Up Next: one queue for both catalogues
Line up episodes and play them through — and when the queue runs dry, radio takes over.
- Partly on the web
Packs: a set of stations you can hand to someone
Bundle stations into a link. Whoever opens it can play the whole set without an account.
- Partly on the web
What was that song?
The live track line, and the running list of everything that played while you listened.
- On your phone
Waking up to a radio station
An alarm that plays a station or a specific episode — and still works when the stream does not.
- On your phone
Falling asleep to it
A fade rather than a cut, a stop at the end of the episode, and a clock you can read in the dark.
