A Raspberry Pi with the right idea in mind can turn an ordinary object into something extraordinary. Such is the case today with this Raspberry Pi radio project put together by maker and developer trustMeIAmANinja over at Reddit. Unlike your average radio, this one lets you listen to stations from all over the world.
The Pi is housed inside an old radio which has been fixed up with a custom interface, a screen, and a series of knobs for seeking out stations. The screen has been mounted to the front of the radio and displays a map of the world with a crosshair overlay. The knobs are attached to rotary encoders, which enable you to tune the radio.
