If home is Austin and far far away, bring some comfort to yourself by taking a look at this site, which is homepage for one of Austin’s radio news stations. By taking a look around, you can tune in to the radio and learn about what’s going on in the news, politics or sports scenes; there are different ways to tune in, as you can choose from live streaming radio, you can download podcasts, or even listen to archived programs, which is quite convenient if you want to follow up on a specific topic, or maybe just listen to the morning show discussion.
Like the best radios which have gone online, KLBJ 590 AM hosts lots of multimedia stories, which include videos, galleries and even games. The site hosts several blogs by the station staff, plus there are several interviews to the radio hosts themselves. I was quite negatively shocked not to find transcriptions for the interviews and audio features, as this seems to be a standard feature for small and large radio stations around the world, and a service that people with hearing difficulties appreciate a lot.
