Travel with music through time! Radiooooo curates playlists by place & era. Discover hidden gems! .com

Imagine a radio unlike any other, a portal through time and space filled with musical gems. That's Radiooooo, the brainchild of Benjamin Moreau, an artist and DJ on a mission. Tired of the same old tunes, Benjamin wanted to create a "time machine" overflowing with forgotten hits and hidden treasures from every corner of the globe.

Here's the magic: you pick a country from a cool world map, then slide a timeline from the 1900s all the way to today. Radiooooo curates a playlist just for you, packed with songs that reflect the unique flavor of that place and era. Think of it as a sonic adventure, a journey where you can stumble upon forgotten classics and discover artists you never knew existed.

The name? Well, "Radio" is pretty self-explanatory, but those five "o's"? Those represent the five continents Radiooooo takes you on a musical tour through. Pretty cool, right?

But Radiooooo isn't a one-man show. It thrives thanks to a passionate crew of music lovers they call "treasure hunters." These explorers unearth rare tracks and hidden gems, sending them to the Radiooooo curators who listen, pick the best ones, and add them to the ever-growing collection. So, you're not just listening to music, you're experiencing the combined efforts of a dedicated community with a nose for fantastic tunes.

The best part? Radiooooo isn't about the latest chart-toppers. They're all about helping you discover music you won't find anywhere else, shining a light on lesser-known artists and genres waiting to be explored. It's like having your own personal DJ who digs deep and unveils a world of musical wonders.

Ready to embark on your sonic adventure? Radiooooo is waiting for you at radiooooo.com and on your phone as a mobile app, so you can take the music wherever you go!

Major major props to da for introducing this gem to me many many years ago in Siddharth Enclave! ❤️

The Nike Swoosh: It is one of the most recognizable logos in the world. You might imagine that an image so iconic would have been designed by an important advertising or branding firm that was paid millions to come up with the advertising scheme. But you’d be wrong if you thought that. In reality, the Nike Swoosh was designed by graphic designer Carolyn Davidson in 1971. Her invoice total for this important piece of design history? $35.

In 1971, Carolyn Davidson was a graphic design student at Portland State University. In 1969, she met Phil Knight, then-assistant professor at PSU who would go on to found Blue Ribbon Sports, and, in turn, Nike. Knight knew Davidson was in search of extra funds to take oil painting classes, so he asked Davidson to help him out on some projects at a rate of $2 an hour.

Once Knight came up with the idea to strike out on his own and create his own brand of athletic shoes, he asked Davidson to help him come up with a stripe–or an image that could go on the side of the shoe–as a side job. Davidson came up with the Nike Swoosh, a check mark shape that is fluid and indicates movement and speed. The image also resembles a wing and hinted at the brand name, Nike, named after the Greek goddess of victory. After some work on the logo, Davidson then handed the design over to Knight for a mere $35.

Knight launched his athletic shoe brand with the swoosh on the side (despite initially saying he didn’t love the logo), and it has since become one of the most famous athletic shoe and gear brands of all time.
