I was surprised with it's ability to receive FM radio broadcast without any problem in such a small module. The size is not bigger than a coin, really small. It may a bit difficult for wiring but it can be done. You can also add small power audio amplifier and use small speaker directly. Here is the module chip, small power amplifier in prototyping pcb.
Wiring
ANT ----> External antenna
R-OUT ----> R audio
L-OUT ----> L audio
GND <----> GND---->
VCC <----> 3.3v---->
SDA <----> A4(analog pin 4)---->
SCL <----> A5(analog pin 5)---->
Libraries
Download: https://github.com/mathertel/Radio , there are several example files you can use to test.
Sketch
Download sketch: https://github.com/satujamsaja/Arduino/tree/master/rda5807m. Use serial monitor to control the radio. See the code for list of command.
Good luck.
