I'm lucky i live in Australia, whilst most stations don't broadcast to
Australia directly.But im close proximity to Asia so i can piggy back
and listen to Asian streams, especially the SE asian one and sometimes
the S asia ones (esp DW radio).Also you can listen to Radio Australia in
USA and almost everywhere, despite being underfunded as is ABC
(australia broadcasting corporation)generally.You hear genuine
australian stuff not just stuff broken down in bite size pieces for
world consumption.Hell i even listen to this its better than the
mainstream media in Australia.Sorry to peddle but it is good.

No disagreement, some of the best radio in the world. But they've
lightened up their schedule quite a bit especially for their Pacific
schedule track, and we now get a lot of Radio Australia produced chatter
+ music shows (as of this last year or so, instead of a second or third
rerun of a bunch of the Radio National shows). And they've gone to
using ABC Radio Local for some of their weekend stuff. Which shows us
that your radio can be just as insipid as NPR. ;-)
