What should I be listening to online?
I have a new computer. (My old computer didn't have a sound card.) I've been listening to a lot of c-span radio. I've been hunting around for other stuff to listen to. What should I be listening to right now? I'd love to get millions of suggestions and bookmark this thread. Thanks.

:D

P.S. I'm really looking for talk radio type suggestions. I'm only interested in music suggestions if...well, I'm such a music snob... I guess I'm only really interested in music suggestions if it's your band.

But you should try KUCI. I've never seen such a variety from one station in my life!

15. Thank you!
Actually I was really pleased to see the show on Political Strikes but their link is to the radio station and requires some navigation to get to Guy's site...

I'll email them tonight, thanks for the heads up!

18. Couple More Recommendations
BBC World Service and BBC Radio Four
www.bbc.co.uk/radio

Shoutcast. Sometimes there are "wild feeds" on there that are interesting. Usually you can find AP Radio Network News.
