In search of good Internet radio

As a newcomer to Internet audio, in the last few days I have been looking for decent public-affairs programming to replace the CBC junk-food diet which is all that you can get over the airwaves in this part of the country. (The local private broadcasters may do a fairly good job with Newfoundland news, in which many Newfoundlanders are intensely interested, but if you want intelligent radio coverage of what is going on in the wider world you're generally out of luck.) Here are links to two broadcasts which seem worth listening to:

  • Shire Network News. Approximately 1 hour of moderate conservative "Anglospheric" news commentary by various bloggers, in the form of a downloadable MP3 file made available each Saturday. Approaching professional technical quality, and with more evident zest than most professional work. Become a member of the exclusive group of 2000 listeners worldwide!
  • CHQR Calgary's The World Tonight. Two hours each weeknight, starting at 9:00 Eastern Time. Leisurely in-depth interviews on Canadian and international matters with people who know what they're talking about, but whom the mainstream North American media usually doesn't bother to consult. Moderate populist-type conservative. (That is, the working assumption is that more democracy will solve all problems.) Available both as a live feed and as a feed from the station's "audio vault" for 30 days after each broadcast.
