The ScoutMakes FM radio board is a great way to learn about the world of electronics. It is a I2C breakout board for the RDA5807 FM radio chip by RDA Microelectronics. The board supports Arduino and CircuitPython. Libraries and example code are provided by to help you get started. The board also has connectors which support SparkFun's Qwiic and Adafruit's Stemma QT I2C connector standards, JST 4-pin.

The RDA5807 also has RDS (Radio Data System) capability where station information (station name, song name) can be received. The example code shows RDS information as well.
