I've been a fan of SW radio since I was a little kid, and could spend hours slowly tuning through the SW band to hear weird and wonderful reports from around the world, some of them in english. 2 hour discussions on the viability of long term tractor manufacturing by a comrade out in the farthest reaches of Georgia, in a disturbingly convincing American accent were not uncommon. Anyways, there's a testament to this obsession on the internet (about time guys - where you been) that offers a neat "best of" podcast round up of broadcasts from all over the world. See also this great article which bought it to my attention by those interesting people at Wired (they'll go far they will - just you wait and see).
Priceless monitor of world chatter, although I'd always recommend investing in a proper "world band" radio (see next entry).
