It's 1 hour long and features mixed music (including listener requests) and often has some facts/trivia about the songs played. Shout-Outs to listeners are regularly given as well. Due to the importance of International Radio in times of Crisis, the first 20 minutes of each broadcast is now dedicated to objective news and analysis of the Coronavirus and News of the Day.

What is shortwave?

Shortwave radio is radio transmission using shortwave radio frequencies, generally 1700 kHz - 30000 kHz. Radio signals are reflected off the upper atmosphere back to earth, allowing signals to travel thousands of miles. Shortwave radio remains very popular throughout the developing world though audiences still exist in all parts of the world.

Purchasing a shortwave radio:

Listening to the broadcast live on a shortwave radio can be a fun experience! Shortwave radio can also prove useful in situations of natural disaster, war, government censorship or general unrest in order to obtain important outside news and information. Shortwave radio is also a unique way to hear independent radio programming, world music, news and entertainment from distant countries at the turn of a dial!

Affordable shortwave radios which I recommend are:

Tecsun PL-660
Tecsun PL-380
Tecsun PL-310et
Retekess V-115
CC Skywave Radio
