Would like to listen to German to brush up a bit. - Anyone know of decent German speaking radio stations - preferably available somehow on Sonos - TuneIn... ?
I used to listen to HitRadio Ö3 in Austria but it's possibly a bit too lively for me now... An equivalent of 6Music? Hmm, but preferably without an emphasis on German music. Too much to ask?
German radio is a bit pants mostly...
Ego fm.
Bayern 1 for some chat and oldies
Fm4 Austrian with a good mix. Presenters switch between English and German often.
If you want to brush up your standard German a more northern take on the language than Bavarian or Austrian might be helpful. 😉 You could try one of the three stations of Deutschlandfunk (Deutschlandradio, Kultur or Nova).
AntenneBayern, perhaps.
Coffee Break German podcasts?
German radio was nearly unbearable when I lived there ...
I tried as it was a way of picking the language - but I never found one ...

Den red hoit wia Preiß....
Good grief, takes me back. One family I lived with for a while listened to Radio Baden-Baden. It was the mid-seventies, so I don't know if it's still going. It played music that wasn't exclusively German (or Europop) so was reasonably bearable. It must have been national as the family lived in Main-Taunus Kreis NR Frankfurt.
Have you considered audio books? More likely to be read in Hochdeutsch and will give you a better sense of sentence structure and syntax than some babbling DJ.
Some good suggestions thanks.

I lived and worked in Austria for a bit, none of that Hochdeutsch nonsense for me danke sehr.
Have you seen Der Pass? Excellent TV and Gedeon's accent is a real treat. The subtitles mean you don't miss anything, a bit like reading a parallel text book.
Came to suggest FM4 👍 but again, it'll be Austrian German (not that I can really speak or understand German any more..! 😭)
Not radio but what about GCN Deutsch?
