Love this application, available on Linux. I did check, but it does seem to be exclusive to Linux.
I came across it fortuitously while looking for radio-related applications in my software manager. There are literally 1000s of stations available for your listening pleasure, entirely justifying the excellent appellation.
As a child, I whiled away many a happy hour oh so carefully turning a dial on an analogue short wave radio to bring in distant stations. And who can forget the mystery of the numbers stations, and the feeling that if you listened long enough the mystery would be revealed.

You can also choose to create library of stations you want. Here, I'm going to add BBC Radio 3 to my library.
