Listening to English-speaking on-line radios

American English is definitely much more understandable than British. Maybe because it's a language that went through its being learned by millions of non-native speakers who somehow simplified its pronounciation. At the end of the day, most Americans are descendands of originally non-English speakers - Germans, Polish, Spanish, Africans.

Do all New York radios have weird names? Some British web-radios don't let you listen to 'em from abroad due to some British law.

Internet is a great thing. You may feel like you've left your country with all its bloody dictature, putin and gazprom - without physically leaving your room. A sad illusion indeed
