World Radio Paris has joined the acclaimed radio distribution platform RADIOPLAYER France. This cross media service allows listeners to tune in on phones, TVs, and cars through RadioPlayer apps.

One of the most useful feature offered by RadioPlayer is the continuous playback in cars combining DAB+ reception from the airwaves and the IP internet streaming. This means that listeners never loose the signal, even when driving in a tunnel or underground carpark. This technology is called Hybrid Radio.

You can download the RadioPlayer app from any app store.

Each year we ask our listeners to contribute to our budget for next year. To operate, WRP needs about 30,000 euros each year. We receive a government grant to operate, like all community radio stations in France, covering about a third of that budget. We need our listeners to send financial contributions to cover the rest of the funding needs.

We are asking you to please click on the paypal link (at the bottom of this page) and donate whatever you can to our community station. With each donation over 60 euros we will send you a tax deduction form (you can deduct 60% of your donation from your 2025 income tax in France).

This year, WRP particularly needs your help. We are having a hard time reaching our donation goals and really count on you. We are about 2,000 euros short and need to raise this much before Dec 31st.

Many thanks !

From now on, all of our science oriented radio shows are broadcast on Sundays, from 6 to 10pm.

Radio Lab, Quirks & Quarks, Explorations, and Big Picture Science will satisfy your scientific curiosity each week.

Quirks & Quarks is the award-winning radio science program of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The program is heard by a national audience in Canada of nearly 800,000 people, and by thousands more around the world on our weekly podcast.

For the past 40 years, Quirks & Quarks has brought its listeners to the cutting edge of scientific inquiry. Every week, the program presents the people behind the latest discoveries in the physical and natural sciences, from the smallest sub-atomic particle to the largest objects in the sky and everything in between. The program also examines the political, social, environmental and ethical implications of new developments in science and technology. Quirks & Quarks is a program for people fascinated by the world above, below and around them. And you don’t need a PhD to enjoy it.

Join host Bob McDonald each week to find out the latest in science, technology, medicine and the environment. We cover every aspect of science, from the quirks of the expanding universe to the quarks within a single atom … and everything in between. Sundays at 7pm on WRP.
