" Financial Survival 2000" 4:00 P.M. 7.415

Other stuff, like 11.175 USB, BBC when it broadcasts, radio New
Zealand.. Radio China, Some of Canada and the occasional Ham

I like hearing news that I don't hear in the mainstream media, and cultural information such as tourism info, popular food or restaurants, traditions, differences with American culture, and music shows. Right now my favorite stations are Radio Havana Cuba, Radio Taiwan International, and Radio Netherlands. I wish I could reliably receive more European and Middle Eastern broadcasters such as Spain, Sweden, Germany (Deutsche Welle), Israel, and India.

I enjoy Radio Netherlands programs a lot. They had a great program
recently on a 17th-Century mutiny/massacre in Australia, the name
escapes me at the moment, which was riveting.

I also enjoy the cultural programming on Voice of Turkey, especially
the one on Turkish customs. A recent one on th practice of circumcision
was, um, painful to listen to, but fascinating.

I enjoy Iran's Voice of Justice for a chuckle. And I check out the news
on Kol Israel every day, unfiltered by American media agendas.

Another fave, though I don't seem to be able to get it much these days,
is the pop music programs from Radio Japan. I love listening to any
kind of world/folk music which isn't available on the abomination that
is American FM radio. Radio Bulgaria and R. Hungary seem to have good
music offerings, too.

I would love to see postings of good programs to check out for music...
