    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).

    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 …

    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?
