We’ve been around since 2009, so we’ve had a lot of years to infiltrate pretty much every corner of the Internet. There are lots of ways to listen.  Apart from being the most popular sci-fi station on the planet, SCIFI.radio is the most technologically connected science fiction radio station in the entire world.

SCIFI.radio is on Every Smart Phone and Tablet

Just go to your app store and search for SCIFI.radio, then download the app. It’s that easy, and it’s free!

… and we’re on the Kindle Fire and Roku, too – via TuneIn and GetMeRadio.

 

More Ways to Listen

*  Winamp, iTuneshttps://station.kryptonradio.com:2199/tunein/kryptonradio.pls

GetMeRadio also works on Alexa devices – but only with our old name, “Krypton Radio”. To use that on Alexa or Google smart speakers, say “open Get Me Radio”, and then when it asks what station you want, say “Krypton Radio.”

Listen via Alexa, Google Home, or Cortana

 We are listed with both TuneIn and GetMeRadio (though GetMeRadio doesn’t seem to respond to anything but our old name, Krypton Radio) , and we have our own Alexa skill as well.

The fact that we’re on TuneIn allows us to be heard via Roku devices as well – pretty much any device that supports TuneIn will let you hear us.

Thanks to TuneIn screwing up and losing their safe harbor protections under U.K. law by curating their own content streams instead of just acting as an internet radio and podcast search engine, they can no longer play any non-UK radio stations within the UK, with only a very few exceptions.

The workaround for this for U.K. listeners is to use the GetMeRadio skill, app, or web site. GetMeRadio was not named in the suit, does not offer curated streams and still has its safe harbor protections. We’ve tested it, and the GetMeRadio player skill on your Alexa Echo device works just fine for playing SCIFI.radio in the UK. You have to say ‘krypton radio‘ when it asks for what station you want to play, though. For some reason GetMeRadio doesn’t pull up SCIFI.radio when you say ‘scifi dot radio’.

How to Listen to Us on GetMeRadio

 

GetMeRadio is available on each of the following devices (which means SCIFI.radio is too):

Listen Using iTunes

 Yes, we’re even listed on iTunes, but again, under our old name Krypton Radio. We’re grandfathered in under that name, and iTunes is no longer accepting internet radio station listings and isn’t responding to hails regarding changing the listing to the new name, so we’re stuck with the old name.

Try using the iTunes app on Windows or OSX and press CTRL-U or Command-U and enter the stream address directly. You can also select View->Media Kind->Internet Radio->Eclectic->Krypton Radio.

 Accessing the Stream Directly

 If you’re using Linux, you can access SCIFI.radio via our direct access streams, via XMMS, Amarok, Banshee or other stream players. If your internet connection is slow, you can select either the 96Kb/s or 64Kb/s streams.
