Folk radio might be the most geographically varied genre on the internet. Open the folk genre page on 72FM in any browser and you can move, in a few clicks, from an Appalachian old-time station to a Celtic session from the west of Ireland to a Nordic ballad from Bergen — no download, no account needed to start. For Celtic music specifically, see Celtic radio online. The music shares a common thread — acoustic instruments, human voice, stories — but the traditions that created it are as different as the landscapes they came from. This guide maps the terrain.
