Many theories predict that ultralight bosonic dark matter (UBDM) can couple to photons and thus generate electromagnetic signals. In such scenarios, UBDM can be searched for using a radio: an antenna connected to a tunable LC circuit that is in turn connected to an amplifier. Such “dark matter radios” are particularly useful tools to search the broad range of UBDM wavelengths where resonant cavity dimensions are too large to be practical. In this chapter, we discuss how dark matter radios can be used to search for UBDM, focusing on the case of hidden photons.
