News & talk radio online
News radio is the reason internet radio was worth building. Being able to hear how an event is being reported in the country where it is happening — in its own language, on its own schedule — is something no aggregator or headline feed replaces.
What to expect
International public broadcasters run the most reliable English-language news streams, many of them rolling 24 hours. Domestic news and talk stations are more interesting and more revealing, but they assume you already know the local context, which is part of what makes them worth listening to.
Speech material sounds fine at low bitrates, so news stations use very little data — typically under 30 MB per hour.
