When you're tired of inscrutable audio you can switch over to RNZ or BBC Pacifica and there's often good programming.
Direct tune to 9435 or 11710 at either 6:00 AM or 8:00 AM Pacific time.
You’re not going to find it on "scan" without scanning through literally thousands of other stations first and without setting the scan sensitivity very high. You're going to become very frustrated long before you find it that way.
I don't know if this is still the case but they used to use a freeware Windows XP encryption application. The amused author wrote a bit about it, IIRC.

I suddenly remembered all those Norko tourists I seen in Vladivostok. These were very shy ones https://ibb.co/6BvNdFw . There used to be years when the city was squirming with them, then they suddenly all disappeared almost overnight.
Funny moments I remember. Two Korean tourists stood in line for an icecream stall, started chitchat. Then one in better dress turns to another, suddenly suspicious, sees Kim's pin on another guy's tshirt, and then he freezes, turning pale, and speechless.
1. Choose the time you want to listen and note the "target area" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_Korea#English
2. Choose a WebSDR in the "target area" from this list: http://kiwisdr.com/public/
3. Tune the WebSDR to the correct frequency and listen. You might try a 2 or 3 different WebSDRs in the "target area" in order to get the best reception
The broadcasts are much shorter than an hour, contrary to what Wikipedia says. The format is usually:
1. National anthem (very imposing and sounds like a Soviet military anthem in my opinion)
2. News / headlines. This lasts maybe 3-5 minutes and then is repeated several times
3. Music
Sometimes the music is before the news. Last time I listened, it was the 73rd anniversary of North Korea's indepedennce and so the news was about all of the congratulations from other nations -- the list of which was quite amusing (Cuba, Syria, Iran, Uzbekistan, China, Russia others I don't recall).
