\"1radionewsprocollagesm\"<\/a>After publishing a post about the new 1 Radio News app<\/a>, developer Steven Clift commented<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Thanks for the mention!<\/p>\n

I had a private email in my draft box for Tom \u2026 here, I\u2019ll share with all:<\/p>\n

Thomas, Ken Reitz suggested you would be a good person to reach out to about my app.<\/p>\n

In the days before the Internet, I can remember taking my shortwave radio up to my Grandparents in far northern Minnesota. I\u2019d have the time to be \u201ccloser to the world\u201d by listening global broadcasters like the BBC World Service and be intrigued by Cold War broadcasts from the Soviet Union and Cuba giving a decidedly different view.<\/p>\n

As my Uncle gave me my first shortwave radio, what might one give to a teen today to easily expose them to the world of truly global news. Now there is an app for that: http:\/\/1radionews.com<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In 1993, when I first went online, my novice thought was this might be like \u201creception clear shortwave.\u201d Going to the world.<\/p>\n

I had forgotten that early thought until a few days ago when I added 30+ live English news streams from broadcasters around the world into the pro version of my 1RadioNews.com Android radio app.<\/p>\n

I started channel surfing \u2026 what\u2019s on here, fun, OK how about this station. What are Radio Sputnik and Radio China International up to \u2026 oh and Wisconsin Public Radio has some great original programming. So now I can go even deeper in my explorations of the voices around the world. I could discover radio, discover the world again through the power of sound and the human voice right on my mobile \u2013 quickly and easily.<\/p>\n

FYI \u2013 \u201cPro\u201d version has 3 times more <\/a>\u2013 curated and well tested \u2013 streams, but the free ad-supported version has some classics like the BBC World Service. I tied to make the app \u201cthumbable\u201d meaning you can just hold the phone and swipe and press a button to play. Super simple and a lot quicker than apps with literally ten of thousands of stations. Saving ten seconds to switch the station matters!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks for the insight, Steven! Since most of us SWLs are international “news junkies,” we appreciate having a curated, simple interface to hear top of the hour news from our favorite broadcasters.<\/p>\n

By the way, Steven, I have added 1 Radio News<\/strong>\u00a0to our list of the best apps for Shortwave and Ham radio enthusiasts<\/a>–one of our most popular all-time posts. \u00a0Good luck and we look forward to hearing about any future developments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
