Show HN: Sonoday Radio – Listen to Podcasts like they are Radio

Sonoday Radio is a free, browser-based tool that recreates the radio experience for podcasts, allowing users to discover and listen to shows without accounts or sign-ins. It offers over 100 curated channels and optional free accounts for saving episodes and preferences.

Background

Sonoday Radio is a web app that turns podcasts into a radio-like experience — you tune into a "channel" and hear a continuous stream of episodes, no choosing or queueing required. - The problem: podcast discovery usually means browsing feeds and manually picking episodes. Sonoday recreates the passive feel of old radio — you just hit play and listen. - Built on RSS, the open standard that powers podcast distribution. Any show with an RSS feed can be added without dealmaking with Apple or Spotify. - "No accounts, no sign-ins" is notable: most podcast apps require registration. Sonoday works instantly in the browser. - Posted on Hacker News as a "Show HN" — a section where makers present projects for feedback. This explains the emphasis on RSS, no-login design, and browser-first approach. - 100+ channels are human-curated, not algorithm-generated — a deliberate choice to preserve the radio feel.
