Twin Cities developer creates ‘shortwave radio’ app for world news<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Julio Ojeda-Zapata<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smartphone users have no shortage of radio-style apps that will stream news-and-information programming to them over the Internet.<\/p>\n

But app developers are always in search of niches within well-populated app categories, and Twin Cities resident Steven Clift<\/a> thinks he’s found one.<\/p>\n

He’s released an app called 1 Radio News<\/a> that provides news-related audio from around the world for English speakers who are eager to keep up on the latest global happenings.<\/p>\n

But, unlike other such apps like TuneIn Radio and iHeartRadio that are crammed with hundreds or thousands of audio sources, 1 Radio News aggressively culls options to just a few dozen.<\/p>\n

[…]Clift is known in local Internet circles as the executive director of E-Democracy.org<\/a>, a network of neighborhood forums that also has served as an election-information site. This is Clift’s first foray into app publishing.<\/p>\n

[…]Clift’s app is no Android blockbuster yet, but he said he’s seen interest from all over the world — notably of late from unexpected locales like Malaysia, Nigeria and Pakistan.<\/p>\n

For Clift, the app is in a way the realization of a childhood dream. When he was growing up in Winona, Minn., the geography where he lived made TV reception problematic. But he had little trouble pulling in short-wave radio signals from around the world.<\/p>\n

Now, his app “turns a phone into a global short-wave radio filled with high-quality news sources from all over the world,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can find Clift’s app, 1 Radio News<\/strong>, on Google Play<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
