RadioBeta is a newer radio website that I discovered through Open Culture. RadioBeta enables users to find and listen to radio broadcasts from around the world. You can search for radio broadcasts by location or by genre. I used the search by location option last night to listen to a broadcast from Ghana. To listen to the broadcasts you will have to install the VLC Media Player which is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

Applications for Education
RadioBeta could be a great resource for foreign language teachers to use as part of a listening exercise in class. RadioBeta could also be a good resource for teaching culture. Teachers may also want to use RadioBeta to have students listen to news broadcasts and then compare the how stories are reported in various parts of the world.
