Hey hey hey what's going on.

I opened it, enjoyed some European stations, started zooming in on Scotland, and one station was playing a Finnish ad for Finnish hardware stores?

So I'm assuming the ads are targeted and they just slip the targeted ones in at some points? Or a bug or something?

Idk but I'm sure that ad wasn't playing on a Scottish radio channel.

Very nice link though I like this, thank you.

Edit yeah clearly targeted ads coming based off my Finnish IP. But there are clearly local ads as well. I had no idea how funny it sounds hearing Irish people pronounce Kärcher, haha.

It is pretty useful for practicing a learned language or just to see what the daily commute is like around the planet.

What's the point of this then?

Sounds like the UK government is screwing you over. Try a VPN.
