North Korea's English Propaganda Broadcast Now Online

If you wanted to listen to North Korea’s English-language propaganda in the past, your only option was to buy a shortwave radio or listen to edited clips on the Voice of [North] Korea website.

Now, according to North Korea Tech points out, you can listen to the full hourlong daily broadcast streaming on the WRN site.

Based on a Monday broadcast, the sound quality is pretty terrible. In fact, there's so much static that it’s barely comprehensible. If you want something clear, you can always watch North Korean TV. If you need something in English, though, this is one of the only options out there at this point.

The quality will likely vary from broadcast to broadcast, as the streamable online recordings come via the actual shortwave radio broadcasts and are thus affected by things like weather conditions.

North Korea Tech reports that WRN is considering using a more high-quality satellite feed, so it’s also possible that at some point the feed will get that upgrade. Until then, enjoy your free daily helping of static and propaganda.
