I am helping the BBC to find English-language radio stations for a radio programme they do called A World In Your Ear. They describe it as “a showcase for the best English language radio on the planet including features, plays, phone-ins, music and comedy shows. A half hour of eavesdropping on the world that reveals a kaleidoscope of voices, sounds and places”.

I am looking particularly for:
1) English language radio stations in Asia and Africa – not all-music or all-news stations but stations with a talk format or which offer drama etc.

2) Radio programmes with a “transport” theme – traffic reports from Greenland, say?

If you know of anything suitable, please contact me directly – or post something in the comments (below). If there is a particular programme on the station which you particularly enjoyed it would help if you could let me know.

Fpr the BBC’s purposes the station doesn’t have to have a website or be streamed over the Internet.

P.S. If you want to catch it , it is broadcast on Fridays 13:30-14:00 (UK time) and Sundays 20:00-20:30 for the next five weeks and streamed from the website live, though for copyright reasons the audiois not archived.203k rehab loanhome ca 0 down loans orovillebudget bush allan sloana loan mirco isamerican savings association loan and stocktonnon-owner loans occupied 100interstate student loans alliedabela loansloan retirement ameriprise accountand helena savings loan american federal
