Support us?

We here at RTDS are back to providing you with the most amazingly diverse music on the planet! And we wouldn’t rather be doing anything else.

That being said, there are some hard costs that need to be met, and that’s where we ask if you like what we do, there are a few ways that you can help, in a small way to help us keep doing what we do!

None of us are going to get rich doing this, but if you can help us out in the following ways, we’d spin a record for you 🙂

  • Consider a small one-time or monthly donation via our PayPal widget.  Many listeners have done this in the past, and it helps us offset costs and devote as much time to RTDS as humanly possible.
  • Use our Amazon widget, so that when you shop on Amazon, we get a very small percentage of the purchase, which we appreciate! We drive more business to Amazon, they say ‘thank you’!
  • TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Share us on social media, email or text, we’d be eternally grateful to allow as many people as possible to hear the music!

Here’s the Amazon Widget, and you can bookmark us so that anytime you shop you go through our portal…thank you!

Today on the Sound Museum with Michael Tearson – “Silence, Still and Quiet”

michaeltearsonToday at  9a/3p/9p and 3a Wed ET, a brand new show from legendary Philly broadcaster Michael Tearson!

Update from Michael:

“The relaunched www.radiothatdoesntsuck.com debuts the show I had planned to be the first new one before the sudden need for the Gregg Allman Memorial show bumped that one to first. This week’s show is a moody thing called “Silence, Still and Quiet.”

Two versions of “In a Silent Way” bookend the show, first by composer Joe Zawinul, then Miles Davis. Among those played The Five Satins, Jackson Browne, Van Morrison and Duke Ellington. It is one of my favorite new concoctions!

Hear it streaming Tuesday 9a/3p/9p/3a Wed ET. Later Wednesday it will join the Allman show in my cache of free/on demand shows available for your pleasure at http://rtds.ca/shows-schedule/michael-tearson-sound-museum-world-wide-dylan/

About Us

We’re Licensed! Here’s why…

Music licensing is important…it confirms, financially, the rights owned by creators and copyright holders to do what they wish with music and be compensated thusly. We at RTDS are completely in favour of paying creators and owners for the use of their works, as we are a music discovery service at our core, playing works that people need to hear.

We are licensed to SOCAN’s Tariff 22f and Re:Sound’s Tariff 8, which ensure our usage of copyrighted material compensates these rights holders WORLDWIDE, as both of these agencies have reciprocal agreements with partner agencies across the globe.

Pirate radio has come a long way…we may view ourselves as radio pirates in one sense, but morally we do the right thing, and so should ALL music services!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee’re BACK!

back online

Whew, what did we miss?!  It’s been a quiet 15 months since we signed off the air, hasn’t it?

We found this AMAZING online radio platform based out of France called Radionomy that is LEGAL, does all our logging for us, collects ALL royalties and distributes them for us to ensure creators and copyright holders GET PAID, and perhaps with a few ads inserted per hour we can make a small stipend…enough to make it worthwhile bringing you ‘music without boundaries’…worth it?  We think so…

We’re in ‘test mode’ at the moment, bringing you some fantastic mixed music heard NOWHERE else.  We’re presently lining up hosts and shows to come back in a big way in the upcoming months, so stay tuned for more great news.

In the meantime, check out our player below to grab an earful of the best deep tracks, past hits and indid music from around the world…
