Replacing Spotify with a homemade FM radio station

Article excerpt

More and more people are yearning for simpler devices. While some see older tech as less convenient, others see the singular function as focused. This radio project from trwmato on GitHub will give you old-fashioned radio listening with some modern updates;  without the existential threat of an endless doomscroll: Raspberry Pi Zero project that creates a self-updating 24/7 FM radio station for passive listening. Built as part of an attempt at digital minimalism / reducing screen time / having overseas content on the radio dial It pulls podcasts and news from RSS feeds, mixes them with local music/jingles, and beams out via bluetooth. My setup involves a 12v bluetooth-FM transmitter that is received by the radio in my kitchen. Bluetooth speaker is fine too.
