As a dedicated content DXer and broadcast enthusiast, I’ve always found joy in the pursuit of obscure programming across various mediums. While shortwave radio has been my preferred method since childhood, the allure of Wi-Fi radio and streaming content has grown increasingly appealing over time. Amidst the vast landscape of online content, The Worldwide Listening Guide (WWLG)<\/em><\/a> has consistently stood out as my go-to resource, and the recently released eleventh edition continues to be an invaluable tool for content discovery.<\/p>\n

Once again, author and curator John Figliozzi has crafted a comprehensive guide tailored to the diverse interests of SWLs like myself. Going beyond a mere programming guide, the WWLG delves deep into the world of broadcasting and content delivery, covering platforms such as AM, Shortwave, FM, Satellite Radio, Internet (WiFi Radio), and Podcasting.<\/p>\n

Each chapter dedicated to these platforms serves as a simple primer, offering insights into the state of broadcasting from both the broadcaster’s and listener’s perspectives. Reminiscent of the informative Passport to Worldband Radio<\/em> that I first encountered in the 1990s, the WWLG<\/em> not only provides programming details but also addresses the health and potential longevity of each platform.<\/p>\n

What truly sets the WWLG apart is its attention to both over-the-air and<\/em> online broadcasting.<\/p>\n

Even for someone reasonably knowledgeable about radio and the media landscape, each edition of The Worldwide Listening Guide<\/em> brings fresh discoveries. The eleventh edition, presented in a slim volume, maintains this tradition. What particularly pleases me is the WWLG<\/em>‘s spiral-bound format, which makes it incredibly convenient to reference while exploring the airwaves or navigating the internet.<\/p>\n

Figliozzi’s exploration of the many facets of radio is both insightful and detailed<\/em>, making the WWLG<\/em> an indispensable resource for anyone interested in broadcasting. It serves as a curated guide, akin to a local independent bookstore for online content and programming, aiding listeners in navigating the abundance of options.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, each edition of the WWLG<\/em> contains new and updated content, showcasing Figliozzi’s keen awareness of the dynamic space that is online streaming and downloadable media. As a dear friend of mine, I know there simply couldn’t be a better author and curator for this volume.<\/p>\n

Packed with a wealth of information, The Worldwide Listening Guide<\/em> is a true bargain, promising to keep content DXers engaged for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend it to those seeking a deeper understanding of broadcasting and a reliable tool for content discovery.<\/p>\n
