WHAT IS PALAPA MAC RADIO?

What is Palapa Mac Radio?

Palapa Mac Radio is an online radio station that offers a unique blend of music genres, including Trop Rock, Coastal Country, Reggae, and Classic Rock. The radio station is the brainchild of Jeremy McMillan, a music enthusiast who launched the station in 2011 as a hobby on the Live365 platform.  On January 31, 2016, Live 365 went out of business, so McMillan took a break from running the station but eventually relaunched it on his own platform on January 1, 2019, with a small amount of seed money from friends and family.

With its eclectic mix of music genres, Palapa Mac Radio offers a refreshing alternative to mainstream radio. The radio station's name is derived from Jeremy's backyard oasis, which was a poolside palapa, and his nickname, Mac. The station's logo, which features a palm tree, a palapa, and a signature tropical Macaw, definitely reflects its laid-back and tropical vibe.
