Founders of Radio Panini, Francesco and Simone told Resident Advisor: "We aim to become a platform for culture and entertainment, where a kaleidoscopic community of people interested in music, food and art can come together (both offline and online), share their life experiences and simply have a good time.

"Radio Panini strives to run inclusive, co-created and diverse programming, with a focus on experimentation of formats and genres," they continue.

The station is interested in radio hosts to join including people who wish to regularly showcase their work to one-off takeovers,
