PLAYIRISH is an independent streaming service. PLAYIRISH started work in late December 2012 and our role is to look after radio and podcasts.

We connects fans to their favorite music, radio and personalities through live radio stations from across Ireland, podcasts from radio’s biggest talents. 

Our aim is to promote Irish podcasts, Irish radio stations and Irish music.

There’s a whole lot of podcasts and good radio out there which isn’t made up of soporific playlists and banal chatter but it isn’t always easy to find. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the best podcasts and internet radio stations, which are guaranteed to introduce you to something fresh, whatever your tastes.

PLAYIRISH keep listening and update this list regularly with the best new internet radio stations.

Irish is unique. For decades, Irish music has taken the world by storm. Artists like Thin Lizzy, U2, The Cranberries and Westlife entertain millions of people and their songs are still frequently played on the radio. Even in recent years, the number of musical talents coming from Ireland shows no sign of slowing down with musicians such as Hozier, The Script and Dermot Kennedy dominating the pop music scene. 

We want that more Irish bands moving on to bigger things.
