"A Google map plotting all the best college and non-commercial radio stations using the actual GPS coordinates of their transmitters as listed in the dreaded FCC database. Right-click a station (the tower icon, not the label) to stream it directly, or left-click to see a bubble with a bunch of info including studio phone number, online archives, homepage, etc., and zoom all the way in to see the transmitter antenna."

If you like this widget you might go to gizmoware.net/chumby for a version that runs off a thumbdrive and is much more reliable.
