A FEW MONTHS IN: HERE'S WHAT WE'VE LEARNED
We launched Hyperion Radio a few months ago with a simple idea. The sim community deserves a proper radio station. No ads, no subscriptions, no algorithm deciding your mood. Just good music, real hosts, and a community that actually gives a damn. We didn't know what to expect. Turns out, people were ready for it.
The part that surprised us
We're a small operation. A small team that had a big idea and just went for it. We figured growth would be slow at first, mostly friends and people we already knew.
But the listener count has climbed every single week since we launched. People are tuning in from sim communities we've never directly reached out to. They're staying for full sessions. Some of them are texting in requests at midnight.
You can't really plan for that. It just happens when you build something real.
What we've built so far
We rebuilt the entire platform from scratch. Proper website, on-demand episodes, a real-time now-playing feed, an iOS app, an Android app, and even an Alexa skill. Matt handles the tech side of things. Zack keeps the music and programming running like clockwork.
We're also in conversations with game studios about bringing Hyperion Radio into games directly. We can't say much more than that right now, but if you've ever wished your favourite sim had a better radio station, keep an eye out.
What hasn't changed
Hyperion Radio is still free. It always will be. Still community-run, volunteer-powered, and built by people who log real hours in the same games you do.
That's not a marketing line. It's just the truth.
What's next
More shows. More DJ sets. More ways to tune in wherever you are. We're just getting started, and the fact that you're here reading this, tuning in, texting requests at weird hours of the night, that means everything to us.
Thanks for being along for the ride.

WE GOT FEATURED โ AND THEY GOT IT RIGHT
We recently sat down with the team at ZinMusic for an interview about Hyperion Radio โ who we are, why we built it, and where we're taking it next. We don't say this lightly: they got it right. ZinMusic described us as "dedicated, authentic, and built the right way." That means a lot coming from a team that actively seeks out independent stations with a real story behind them. It's the kind of recognition that reminds you why you're doing this in the first place.
