Russia/Ukraine?

I’m getting my coverage from the NYT and BBC Radio online. I don’t just listen to the World
service. Radio 5 Live is the local UK talk radio station, but I enjoy it. They talk to a lot of people in Ukraine. Due to the 6 hour time difference I mostly listen to their overnight host, who actually grew up in Africa (he’s Nigerian). Lovely voice. The World at One on Radio 4, plus general news coverage on the World Service. BBC Radio had a great app called BBC Sounds to get all the stations. If you’re not in the UK, it gives program times in local time.

I also like reading the Economist weekly magazine out of the UK. It’s expensive, but I get it free online through one of my library’s digital apps. Libby, I think.

I've thought about getting VPN to listen to overseas broadcasts.

Thanks! I was thinking more along the lines of French, Italian, etc. news.

France 24 is in English and has 24 hour broadcasts.

Many radio stations these days have no limits on who can listen. Just do some googling and see what you come up with. Have you tried to listen to European stations before?

There was a site with individual foreign language channels years ago, but it disappeared. I've looked periodically since, with no success.

Do you have a smartphone? If so, download the TuneIn app. I just searched for France and a bunch of stations came up. Try the TuneIn website as well.

I have TuneIn--I'll have to widen my horizons!
