- A plays a station. Y adds it to Favourites; Recently played keeps your last 15.
- In By country, Y makes a country My country: its stations get their own entry in the Radio menu.
Many stations show the song or show that’s on air.
3Podcasts

Where the stations and podcasts come from
Stations come from the community-run Radio Browser directory. Podcast search and charts come from Apple's public podcast directory, and episodes from each show's own feed. Everything is played straight from the station or podcast: nothing is recorded, stored on pocketkode.com or re-shared. Stations and podcasts belong to their owners.
