About Radio Dad
Radio Dad is made by Tanzi Labs LLC, a small independent studio. We make calm, private software, and Radio Dad is our take on internet radio: the whole world on a globe you spin to tune, with nothing tracking you while you listen.
Who makes Radio Dad
Radio Dad is built by Tanzi Labs LLC, an independent app studio. We are a small team, we answer our own mail, and we care about software that is quiet, careful, and respectful of the people who use it. There is no growth team and no ad department here, just a radio we wanted to exist.
Why we built it
Radio is the original way to hear a place. Tune across a dial in another country and you catch its language, its music, its adverts and its weather, the texture of somewhere you have never been. The internet put fifty thousand of those stations in reach, then buried them in a search box.
So we put the planet back in charge. On Radio Dad you spin a 3D globe and whatever station sits under the crosshair starts playing, no tapping. You Zap from one to the next like flicking a dial. When a broadcast is in a language you do not speak, Live Captions can transcribe and translate it on your device, in real time and private to you. Discovery should feel like travel, not like reading a list.
Where the stations come from
Radio Dad's directory is built from open, community-contributed listings, served from our own edge with our corrections on top. We do not own the audio and we do not re-stream it: every station plays directly from the broadcaster to your device, exactly as it would in any player. Because the listings are contributed, they change, and stations sometimes move or go offline. If you run a station and want it removed, our takedown process handles valid requests promptly, typically within 48 hours.
Private by design
Radio Dad needs as little about you as possible. There is no account to make and no ads. There are no third-party analytics, trackers or advertising SDKs in the app, none. Live Captions and translation run entirely on your device, and your favourites and history stay on your device (syncing privately across your own Apple devices through iCloud if you are signed in). The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
