Still listening to Russ and ROb, usually with them in one ear and the TV on and have beccome pretty good at synching them up... I was having problems with TuneIn last year and migrated over to the local athens radio website. My Ohiobocats network feed would buffer and then stop, only saying I had reached a streaming limit so I would have to pull over to restart it whether in the car or on the bike.

Found this Radio.Garden a while back that seems to let me tune into any radio station in the world and listen live.Each little green dot on the globe is a radio station.

Got it set to 105. Working well for now and listening around the globe. Only thing I can not find on it is WXRT Chicago. Loads fast and lets me do searches to listen to locals in Bangkok, Atlanta, Sacto and where ever else my frineds and family are. Maybe make listening to the Cats a little easier if you are like me and have different formats not work as well as you would like.

Thanks, borna. This looks like an interesting approach to internet radio.

Radio Garden is awesome. It's like cultural teleportation. I do find it amusing that the advertising is based on the listener's geolocation. It's why I get a Farmer's Insurance ad in Bengaluru, India.

Just an FYI -

There is an app called The Varsity Network. This is a Learfield Communications app, and has the radio call for both Ohio Football and Men's Basketball.

I too sync up the TV/web broadcast to the radio call with Russ and Rob.

The app will allow you to pause/forward/rewind the broadcast. So with a little patience, you can sync up the call with the broadcast pretty easily.

I have not heard of Radio Garden, but may give it a try.

Are you intentionally routing your VPN through Bengaluru? There's a blockchain-based VPN I'm using called Orchid and it's awesome but being decentralized you don't get a choice in geolocation... Not ideal for tricking sports media companies.

I'll second the Varsity Network. Ted includes in in the GameDay links. It's free for PC or mobile and can get any college you want (at least that I've tried).

No buffering or stuttering. Gets the OU radio feed of Russ and Rob. It's fantastic.

I've used it. The buffering wasn't an issue in the beginning, but lately it has started to a little bit. Anyone else run into a similar experience?
