In 2024 bestaat Radio Nostalgia 25 jaar! In het verenigingsblad van 78-toerenplatenverzamelaars De Weergever verscheen een uitgebreide artikel over de geschiedenis van mijn radiostation. En het is tegelijk een terugblik op de ontstaansgeschiedenis van het internet. Je kunt het lezen op:

Last week, while on holiday in England, I found a nice batch of 78rpm records in an Oxfam store in Chipping Norton, Cotswolds. To my surprise, this classic from The Goons was among them. Brilliant comedy, inspiration for Monty Python, admired by the youthful Beatles. Soon on your Radio Nostalgia!

Nothing is more fun and rewarding than to hear that Radio Nostalgia is being listened to all over the world. That's how I got this message from Tokyo where coffee shop スズメノツノ plays my 78 rpm records for their visitors through an old tube radio. Thanks for sharing, guys!
Have a look:

On the website of the audio systems company Como Audio, extensive attention has been paid to Radio Nostalgia. A nice article about the history of the radio station, approach, background to my collection, etc. Definitely worth a read. This is the second article on the page, under the story about WLVN Radio. Enjoy!

Fortunately, after a relocation of the Radio Nostalgia studio new activities have finally been observed. The first 78rpm records in a long time are being added to the Radio play list. Have you heard them yet?

Yesterday your radio host visited Museum MORE in the Dutch town of Gorssel. This museum has a large collection of MOdern REalism, including works by the Dutch magic realist Pyke Koch. His painting "Woman with gramophone" from 1928 fits seamlessly with the music of www.radionostalgia.nl. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

For all those who have an android mobile, Radio Nostalgia is now also available on the popular app RadioDroid. Nice to take the music with you in your ears when walking the dog or jogging. Or to stream Radio Nostalgia from your mobile phone to your sound boxes.

Who would not be very happy with such a sweet message that I received from a listener today! Dear listeners of www.radionostalgia.nl, take care of yourself during these difficult times and find comfort in the music!
"Hi Jan, just to let you know that how your wonderful radio station is really helping me through this difficult time, I don't think our lives will ever be quite the same again if or when this terrible pandemic ends, only the music is constant.
Thank you so much for your efforts
Diane"

Have you noticed? In recent weeks I have digitized countless 78 rpm records from my collection and added them to the continuous music stream of www.radionostalgia.nl. If you haven't listened in a while, tune in and enjoy these new treasures! And involve your friends in this secret of this wonderful music journey.

Have you ever considered buying an old radio, connecting a simple and cheap Bluetooth receiver so that you can listen to www.radionostalgia.nl endlessly in the right atmosphere? It's just an idea...

Dear music friends, I am pleased to announce that there is now a worldwide version available of Radio Nostalgia AND without commercials/ads. For a long time, Radio Nostalgia was no longer available in a number of countries and regions - due to copyright issues. The base station is now located in Canada and from there the radio stream can be received everywhere around the world. From 1 January a.s. the stream will be transferred completely to this new location. To listen go to:
