try BBC world service, it's dehydrated.


I love the World Service. I just want to hear the news without gimmicks.


My #1 source. It's the antithesis of local news. Owen Bennett Jones is a _legend_. He's Kronkite/Brokaw/Jennings all into one. My father is in his late sixties and remembers listening to Jones with HIS father during the peak of the cold war half way across the world. Lyse Doucet does some amazing international on-the-ground coverage. I'll take dehydrated any day over 24-news-hour "let's spend 4 days over-analyzing the same 16 second presidential campaign snafu 16 months away from the primaries" alternative.
