How to Link Radio Stations to Make Your Own Yoto Cards

There's so many great ways to use the Make Your Own (MYO) Yoto Cards. We've written about a bunch of them here. 

Another fantastic way to use the MYO cards is to link them to an internet radio station. Every time you pop the card into your player, it'll begin streaming the linked radio station. It's great way to get more variety in the music you play on your Yoto Player.

Yoto already has a variety of podcasts and radio stations within their app. Here's a tutorial on how to find and link those to a MYO card: https://support.yotoplay.com/en-US/make-a-card-from-radio-stations-and-podcasts-in-the-yoto-app-21686
