OverthinkingRadio is a web-based radio station that delivers a curated selection of the finest pop hits, spanning both classic and contemporary tunes. The inception of this radio station fulfils a lifelong aspiration of mine, providing a platform for self-expression through the universal language of music.

To stream and play the songs, I use a Raspberry Pi 4B with 8GB of RAM. All the songs are saved on a 32GB USB stick. Using mixing software, I play them and generally create the schedule, including the order in which they will play, etc. Then, using a small piece of software, I connect to and broadcast it on zeno.fm, which is easier and offers more benefits than setting up a custom radio server from scratch.

MIXXX is pretty good for playing and mixing the songs, it has a lot of features plus it's free and open source! To stream I use butt (broadcast using this tool).
