…but how would I have been exposed to that music without the show?
How would I find music that I’ll possibly love, but I won’t be exposed to?
Doesn’t have to be rock at all.
I’m hesitant to link back to reddit, but I’m not sure there’s any community with quite the same amount of engagement/content yet. They have rules against number of views/plays to try to keep posts about lesser known stuff.

The few things I liked about siriusXM when I had a subscription were alt nation (except Madison… ugh) and XMU. The DJs occasionally had insight into their choices but you can find the playlists themselves here

Get some friends that like the same “kinds” of music as you. Ask them.
Local community radio show. CKUT and CISM in Montreal have great niche music shows: math-rock, electronica, experimental, underground hip-hop, name it, there’s a show for it.
I’m lucky to live in a really good radio town. For the last 10 years, I have found the best new music consistently from the KUTX community supported radio station.
You can listen to them online too. Laurie Gallardo is sort of my low key hero.
