Years ago, we dreamed that UTR would launch a 24-hour online radio channel.  We loved the idea that any time day or night, someone could hit a play button on a device or in their car and instantly get plugged into a wave of well-crafted, faith-inspired gourmet music.  However, internet radio was dying a slow death, and the newcomer on the scene was the streaming platform.  In some ways, this playlist is the fulfillment of that dream.  At any time you can hit “play” on this newly updated 2021 list of gourmet music, and you can enjoy these incredibly meaningful songs for 24-hours (over 350 songs) without repeating a single one — something that you wouldn’t be able to find on Christian radio.  THIS is the way you wish Christian radio sounded.

Curator’s Notes  (24 Hours Playlist 2021)

If you look at some of the other large-sized playlists now streaming, they often are just thrown together with the anticipation that the listener will hit shuffle… and they add (for example) 7 songs from the same album… then a chunk of songs from a single artist.  That’s not my approach at all.  This playlist is designed to give you something that is hard to find on the radio… and even most playlists: variety.  You will find over 350 tracks that represent a diversity in the age of the song, age of the artists, styles, themes, and racial representation.  And you can listen to this playlist straight through and still enjoy the variety.  Thanks for diving in – and be sure to hit the “follow/like” button on the streaming service of your choice – partly because it makes it more accessible to you and partly because it helps us track how many people are regularly listening.   (Dave)
