What stations are available on Conan radio and can I add my own

The curated stations on Conan Radio:

  • - Claude FM — focus · ambient · chill · build (the default)
  • - System Of A Down — Symphonic Orchestra Instrumentals — epic · cinematic · instrumental · rock · symphonic
  • - Dr. Dre — Symphonic Orchestra Instrumentals — epic · cinematic · instrumental · hip-hop · symphonic
  • - Linkin Park — Symphonic Orchestra Instrumentals — epic · cinematic · instrumental · rock · symphonic

Can you add your own? Sort of — two different things:

  • - The curated list above is owned by the Conan gateway (compiled into the signed sidecar binary that ships in the app), so you can't add to that named list by editing anything.
  • - But you can play any stream you want. The radio accepts any YouTube URL, youtu.be short link, youtube.com/live/… link, or bare 11-character video ID — I can point the radio at it for you. That change is session-only: it lives in the gateway's memory and reverts to the default when you restart Conan.

So if you've got a station/stream in mind, just paste the link and I'll switch it on. I can also pick from the curated set by vibe (“something epic/focus”) or shuffle a random one. Want me to put something on?

Conan is a native macOS app that wraps Claude Code in a live HUD — a cockpit around the agent. You run real Claude Code in its terminal, and Conan surfaces the whole session as it happens: a streaming timeline of every prompt, tool call, and skill; live context and token usage; a throughput pulse; the skills and MCP servers in play; even built-in radio. Instead of squinting at a scrolling terminal, you watch the campaign unfold — a barbarian misses nothing.
