This is great if you're between the ages of 8 and 17, but not quite so great is you mind hearing the same songs playing over and over and over and over... No, to be fair, Red Dragon is not nearly so bad as some other station where they literally play the same 20 songs, at least here there are requests for older songs, so you'll occasionally find yourself listening to a bit of a gem. Train's 'Drops of Jupiter' springs to mind. Who's that tutting in the back? Red Dragon FM are very involved in the local community, looking through the galleries on their website showed a massive amount of local events that they've been a part of. They are also very involved while on air, with local listeners forever honing in for competitions or other random involvement. Anyway, this is the kind of station you might flip on while you do the housework or might have to listen to while in work, but it's not going to speak many words or wisdom or enhance the culture in your life.

If you go down to Cardiff Bay and visit the Atlantic Wharf centre, then you're surely in for an entertaining time, or rather your children perhaps really are... A five star radio show; it has competitions, quizzes, phone in call sessions, guess the song and singer games, they have the local news updates, traffic and weather updates, they go out and about locally, they know their gossip about the arts and entertainment world and often help with charities. They are very sensitive towards their audiences, polite and caring. They also have a website. Which is full of games: news, competitions and of ways in how, if you should so wish to, to get in touch. You can watch them speak in their attractive studio of a station. I recommend for all teenagers, and young adults from ages; 12 - 30 year olds, preferably for those who live in Cardiff or Wales.

I hate commercial radio, there's something about all those catchy commercial ditties that just get…read morestuck in your head and make me crazy. Still I do occasionally switch to Real Radio for a bit of cheese in the evenings when other stations get serious. I like David Heane's Evening show for a bit of sit along action on the way home for example. It's about as good as commercial radio gets really, there is something on there for everyone and on the Welsh version I like that they give you news on what's going on and different tips like the money saving tips for eating out.

If you want to listen to a bit of light-hearted pop music, both current chart toppers and other…read morecontemporary classic hits, then Real Radio isn't a bad choice. Aimed at 25-54 year olds, it's an independent local radio that broadcasts on FM from Morganstown in Cardiff right across South and West Wales. It does have a slightly cheesy tone - as do most local radio stations - but the music is easy to listen to and their news bulletins are pretty good, combining some national and showbiz stories, and some local news. They also sometimes run some decent competitions, and have regular features such as 'Pop the Question' every weekday (on the mid morning show) when they ask a set of questions, and listeners call in with their answers - with the chance to win a prize (such as a DAB digital radio) if they get them right.

Come on guys - give heart a break!…read more So it might not do your street cred much good to have it blaring out with the windows down but I find, in my half an hour drive from work to home it is one of the only stations that I can guarantee actually being able to listen to some music on! Other stations decide to use this peak listening time to presenting mindless babble, when all I want is a few tunes to get me home quicker. I do agree that the talking on Heart is just as bad if not worse, I tend to just tune into another station in between songs. The other real good point is that they are a local station, so you get the travel news relevant to you, and during our recent snow crisis I used their website to find out which buses where running and which roads were closed. I am a fan. If there gave me a t-shirt - I'd wear it.

Oh my God. I had to listen to this radio station whenever I was at my old job and I hated it.

I was on here once, and had a great time in the studio playing live and being interviewed to tens of people...

You're probably familiar with the BBC Introducing concept because of its Radio 1 incarnation hosted…read moreby the likes of Huw Stephens. Basically, it's a platform for discovering and broadcasting new and unsigned bands inspired very much by the work of the late John Peel. Many local BBC stations have their own incarnation, as does Bristol with a show that goes out every Saturday night between 1am and 3am (you can also listen again online for a week if you're doing something more interesting with your weekend evenings). The formula is simple, with alternative sounds from the likes of Kid Carpets and interviews with local bands and promoters. They were ridiculously taken off air for a while recently when, in the wake of Sachsgate, they accidentally played a song with explicit lyrics (at gone 1am remember!), but after much deserved protest, they're once again giving exposure to small local bands who wouldn't get it elsewhere, and for that we should be very relieved.
