While I’m working lightly, I listen to BBC World News and while I’m working more intensely, I switch the gradio to classical, swapping between Swiss Radio and Audiophile.
The gradio?
Why, yes! It’s a GNU/Linux radio application for listening to online broadcasts.

How to Install
Type three simple terminal commands to:
- Add the Gradio repository to your system’s software update list.
- Update your system’s list of available software (now tapping into the new repository).
- Install the Gradio software to your system.
Here are the three commands (feel free to copy and paste the first one, to ensure proper spelling):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:haecker-felix/gradio-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gradio
Enjoy!
