I love listening to the news. I highly prefer it to reading a physical newspaper (ink fingers!), reading the online news websites (too much catching the eye - what's important?), or watching the news (anchors are far from being experts). .jpg)
With the London-based Monocle, I get relevant breaking news straight from experts. The selection of different shows is absolutely huge. From day to day I can decide if I want to be briefed by any of the following (and these are just the tip of the iceberg!): "Midori House," a one-hour overview from Monocle editors and correspondents all over the world, "The Briefing," which focuses on the day's news in Europe, "The Monocle Daily," which checks in live with reporters from the US and Americas, or the wonderful catch-all "The Curator," which compiles the best of the week into one show. 
You not only get international news; you get expert political analyses and impressive interviews and insight. And it's all delivered in dulcet British accents, which is an added plus.
And once you've had enough of the news, there are also stations that cover culture, food, music, books, and really everything under the sun! Monocle Radio has it all! Not to get off track, but Monocle.com has a million more things to offer outside of their radio stations. But start here, and see if you don't end up spending the next two hours on the Monocle website:
The best part is the fact that the live radio streams open in a player at the bottom of the website which allows you to continue browsing and opening new pages while you listen.
