SomaFM is an utter institution. It predates SF being overrun with techbro culture--the hackers were mostly in the valley, the city was an even slice of misfits and outcasts (and hackers among the mix, not dominating it), and the bros were mostly still going into finance.
At least after hackers hack the radio station to play some nice music. Wouldn’t that be a cool idea? The hackable radio station where you get your songs played if you manage to hack it.

I used to listen the hacker public radio maybe 10 years ago, what a great rediscovery for me! So many unlistened episodes.

Woah I forgot all about this, I used to listen in like 2006-2009 when I was into podcasts. That's awesome they're still doing it!

Instead of default Safari, I have tried Firefox and the page displays the same message about validity of ssl_certificate.
