any idea how to hear this broadcast online?

I don't think there is one.

We're talking about what is probably the most closed society on the
face of the earth right now. I believe there is no internet service in
the entire country (with the exception of satellite links in foreign
embassies). The government doesn't trust even its most loyal
apparatchiks with exposure to an outside world that might
"contaminate" their world-view.

There is indeed internet in the DPRK. It is, however, tightly controlled,
almost exclusively accessed in their equivalent of the "PC Bang" (PC room),
with a state chaperone standing there watching over everyone's shoulders.
Limited e-mail access between family members with family in the south, etc.

It's indeed a very closed society, but not so much as you may be lead to
believe. Several ROK businesses have manufacturing facilities in the DPRK (a
pilot program in a city just north of the border). People being people, one
can be certain that the employees there do talk about things they see and
hear..

One interesting thing to look at: The ROK still (even though they SAID they
stopped years ago) jams several DPRK MW stations. Gotta wonder about that
one. I don't hear any jamming coming the other direction (of course, that
could be because the main KBS MW outlets are running in excess of 1.5MW
daytime and 750KW night....)
