One thing I'm surprised doesn't exist yet is "podcast radio stations". Like, I want a podcast DJ to cue up 24 hours worth of programming into a channel and then I can tune in at any time and hear whatever podcast episode is on right now. Don't make me think, don't make me go out and discover new podcasts, just give me a stream of interesting audio content.
This is NPR One, no? That's why I've been using it - it gives you a nice steady stream of NPR's programming and outside podcasts, randomly sampled at first, which in time starts preferring your favored content (which it learns by you "liking" content).
No, in the same way that the original Turntable.fm wasn't just radio.
Like, say I'm interested in true crime or D&D or behavioural economics, there's a bajillion podcasts out there on each topic and discovery is inefficient and time consuming. Instead of subscribing to podcast creators, I want a DJ to just have an audio stream going on at all times where I can just tune in when I want and it's something interesting being played.
You have to license the songs which makes it difficult and expensive. Podcasts don’t qualify for the same type of statutory licensing that online radio stations provide due to predictability of song appearances and ability to replay (radio must be sufficiently shuffled and songs can’t be announced too far in the future). That’s the major difference from normal podcasting. Some public radio stations have licensed these kinds of programs but they are often geofenced based on IP address.
There are already people doing something similar on ClubHouse right now. You can interact with a live audience and fund requests. I think you could also host political talk radio on there if they'd let you do it.
Actually I think that may be ClubHouse's future - if it survives.
I'm not talking about brand new content, I want a platform where anyone can sign up and create a "channel" and then queue up a playlist of already existing podcast episodes to play in sequence and I can browse through and hop into different channels and be fed a diet of podcasts previously unfamiliar to me.

Does anyone know what this website(?) does? It's invite-only and seems to be music related but the article doesn't really say much about what the company does.
Edit: After some more research it seems like sharing music with your friends in a common space, like Clubhouse but with everyone listening to a song.
The old turntable.fm was basically a chatroom in which people would take turns queueing songs for the entire room to listen to and talk about. You could like or dislike the song playing as well. If enough people downvoted the song it would be skipped.
It was pretty magical in summer 2011; I made real-life friends on TTFM and I learned about a ton of music I had never been previously exposed to. I was disappointed when it died because it really was a lot of fun.
Surprised and happy to see this! I was an avid user of the old Turntable.fm which sadly shut down. (I would love to get an invite for the new service if anyone has any ;) )
Related, there is also jqbx.fm which integrates with Spotify which is basically the same thing, can recommend.
Totally forgot what Turntable.fm was until I saw the gorilla bouncer on thier home page. I can't believe it was 2013 when that service shut down, that's such a long time ago.
I loved turntable.fm while at work, so much chill music was on there. Talk about being "too soon" and ahead of their time. I hope they do well.

Been listening to it for years, it's great stuff!
Isn't what you've described basically BBC Radio 4, or any of the NPR stations?

Indie radio stations do the same and usually have a podcast “episode” per week with curated content

TikTok licenses all their music to allow them to freely use the IP in their experience.
I really hope they didn't have to make that pitch to the VCs.
I can't notice how similar the middle character's face looks to Octocat's face from Github.

Now the .com redirects to .FM. What happened? That site had raised thousands of dollars. What happened to that money? Did they scam people?
