International Radio Stations - Recommendations?

Trotter

Just got a decent iPhone dock speaker setup for the kitchen at home. Im using a radio app on the phone now that gives me access to loads of international radio stations. Theres even one in Antartica.. How many listeners would they have!?

I'd be into talk radio, sports talk, and a bit of everything in terms of music.
Just wondering if anyone can recommend stations from around the world?

I can recommend this station for one, very good blend of French & world music on it:

NPR has to be the best station.

Love NPR, that BBC4, World Service and RTE would be my main talk stations. For music BBC 6 is fantastic.

If you like alternative music triple j (australian) is good

Malaysia has good music-formatted radio stations.
You can play the streams from your desktop at www.dvrplayer.com
hitz.fm, Mix FM and Lite FM are among my favourites.
Mix FM seem to mix their tracks (literally) on overnight shows!! Tune in to see what I mean.
I'm not sure what Radio app you're using, but TuneIn Radio has these stations listed.

3RRR from Melbourne is a great little station for eclectic music + a bit of Aussie chat.

BBC 6music, best music radio
Oz's Triple J is good for a change, or could be just nostalgia!
BBC Radio 4.... can be high brow but always interesting stuff even if some of the words they use have me googling!
Classic Soul Network, gotta love old soul
GotRadio - World stream

Mycroft H

BBC World Service.

KCRW (Los Angeles) for alternative music

CBC radio from Canada www.cbc.ca/radio
Intelligent, eclectic, non-commercial. Quite a few of their programs are picked up by NPR
