If you’ve got eagle eyes, Dear Reader, you may have noticed us testing something over the past few days on readdork.com. With everything signed, sealed and delivered, we’re ready to formally present what we’ve been working on to the world. Say hi to Dork Radio.
Yep, we’ve been eagerly building our own online radio station. With a world of all you can hear streaming at our fingertips, we’re as eager as anyone to keep crafting playlists and sharing tracks, but we also like curating stuff in a non skippable, equally exciting format. That’s where Dork Radio comes in.
Tied in to both our print magazine and readdork.com, we’re going to be broadcasting the best bangers 24/7/365. With a slant towards new and emerging music, we’ve got big plans – but to start with, it’s going to be all about the music.
Carefully curated themed shows, new bands and recommendations, track premieres and a multitude of other audio delights will dominate the schedule. Constantly loaded with the best new tracks as they drop, we’re kicking off with our new flagship scale of awesome, the Dork Buzz Chart. Updated each Thursday, it’ll play out every weekday at 5pm, keeping you up to date with the hottest new music. Calculated from a combination of listener votes, visits to readdork.com, likes, shares, RTs and other ‘stuff’, it’ll all be fed into our complex formula nobody understands to give a top 10 of the buzziest new bangers on planet Dork.
You can check out the first week’s rankings here, and cast your own vote here – and if your favourite isn’t in our list, you can add it yourself at the bottom.
Dork Radio is available to play via readdork.com, or via TuneIn on iOS, Android and other devices.
