Ask HN: News you can hear?

Posted by TekMol on Tuesday June 12, 2018 @02:41AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Is there a service where you can listen to the latest news? Something like an audio newspaper?

For example today there is a lot of stuff written about the meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un that took place a few hours ago. And instead of reading what happened I would like to listen to it.

It should be in plain mp3 format that I can download.

Any tips?

The Daily by the New York Times is an awesome podcast, it's basically an audio newspaper: https://www.nytimes.com/podcasts/the-daily

Hmm... the latest episode is about how Trump is "on his way to the historic summit meeting with Kim Jong-un". The next episode will be about the actual meeting then I guess. When will it be released?

I would prefer something as fresh as a newspaper. Something like what they had on radio when I was a child. News in spoken form every hour. I guess that still exists :) But listening to radio is a bit clumsy. Guess I should look for a radio station that publishes their news as mp3?
