it also sidesteps the whole discovery issue. I would love to know how that person is discovering music that they buy on bandcamp.

Any of the locally-run radio stations in the SF Bay Area are good choices:

Here are some that I have found new music on (no particular order):

KZSC, KFJC, KZSU, KSJS, KCSM, KKUP, KSJO, KBCZ, KDFC, KPOO, KALX

There's also SomaFM.

It looks like Pirate Cat Radio finally sold out to The Man, and got a broadcast license for their transmitter. Need to check them out again:

Apparently, there are now a handful of high school radio stations around here too. Does that mean the cool kids have kids in high school now? I must be getting old.

Also, music podcasts are a thing. I like Dark Compass for metal.
