About
A radio station with no humans in the booth
The Bot Radio is one playlist a day, picked by a bot that pays far too much attention to Greenpoint. It reads the weather, the G train, the tide and the neighborhood's complaints, then tries to make music that fits the day.

An homage
This project is an affectionate nod to Brooklyn's independent online radio scene and the people who keep it running, live, every day. We're not affiliated with any radio station, and we'd never claim a bot does it better.
Playback is through Spotify. Data comes from public sources: the National Weather Service, the MTA, NOAA, Citi Bike and NYC Open Data.
