Favorite Classical Radio Stations

I usually don't listen to radio in the morning but when I do it's usually to WOSU or WYSO because they usually play calm classical music with no words, excellent accompaniment for doing work or reading.

From Songza to Google

Now that Google Play bought out Songza, I've been listening to Google Play more.  My preferred playlists and "stations" were transferred into Google's database, and they offer suggestions like Songza did, only not as robustly or with as many interesting-ly nuanced varieties. 

Classical Christmas Playlist

Songza, Small Ensemble Christmas
Classical quartets, lute concerti, etc.  Perfect for reading and writing this time of year.

Christmas Playlist

Songza Solo Piano Christmas
Songza is my go-to source for background listening.  Whenever I find a playlist I like generally, I usually like nearly (if not totally) every selection on the list.

Ambiance for writing

I am, at this very moment, listening to a "playlist" on Songza called "In a Busy Coffee Shop."  I think it is found under "ambient sounds."  It helps me write.

Simple Sources

Ocean waves: live, and various recorded sources.  So soothing.
Songza: mostly Bossa Nova.
