I'm beginning to form a hypothesis: I listen for the accents, while the rest of you listen for the content. Funny world, ain't it?

Well i guess that depends if the accent is new... Now if it was russian maybe that would be a different case... especially since I dont know russian

Piperdbh how do you listen to it? Through your computer? I also enjoy listening to radio shows from elsewhere to listen to an interesting accent.

I used to love listening to my old local radio station (Northern sound) on a Sunday night. It aired old story telling and music, twas a lovely way to end the weekend. My new local radio station has a Celtic hour on Sunday morning

, but it is on the same time as church

.

I love the Beeb; particularly Radio 3 and Radio 4 but I listen for the content.

I had never thought that someone might listen for the accents but I suppose that I am used to hearing those. Thinking about it there is quite a wide variety of accents on it now whereas they all use to be RP. There is also quite a few Scots who don't sound Scottish!

NECR (North East Commercial Radio) .....plenty of Scottish accents

Northsound doesnt play over here sadly... I did happen to listen to some of the debate at union terrace gardens on Original 106 last night though...

If anyone likes celtic music they could always try Celtic Music Radio which broadcasts oit of Glasgow but is syndicated by a number of community radio stations around the UK as filler
