Despite the general belief that radio is an obsolete medium for news and the like, I'm finding more and more that radio and radio podcasts are invaluable ways of informing myself on topics that I particularly care about and topics that aren't often talked about (my sad reality is that they coincide one hundred percent of the time, haha). Top news is important, local news is important, but if you follow news you've seen how redundant stories can be. Depending on your news sources, you may already be fully aware of an amazing story that your local news station finally reported on days later. It can be tiresome, especially when you find yourself yelling at Peggy Bunker, 'What about the GMO labeling vote? Where are my polls, Peggy?!' I digress...
That somewhat long introduction about radio and news is essentially about this: Heritage Radio Network. A site I've happened to find and love. You can listen live or explore the various programs they offer that range from topics on farming to beer to crafting to organic cookery to food politics. Check it out! They have great guests and each session is from 20-40 minutes and it's a wonderful way to learn and/or pass the time and/or take a break from listening to your wo-womp womp dub step.
A clip they have on their website now, a lovely nugget of wisdom from the famous Wendell Berry (I told you they had great guests!).
