It appears that RadioBen is offline. Can anyone confirm if that's permanent?
It automatically monitored the live stream of a small countries external service (that may or may not be broadcast on SW anymore) and recorded shows into MP3 files and shared them with the world via a podcast rss feed. Fwiw, there are dozens of countries that haven't figured out how to resource or technically implement efforts to make their programs available on-demand. There are a few countries that put shows on the web but haven't bothered to add a podcast feed to reach people via iTunes, Spotify, YouTube podcasts, etc. I remain a fan of surfacing such daily or weekly programs in English via my 1 Radio News app on-demand. A dozen programs found their way into my app because of RadioBen from Voice of Nigeria to Algeria to others. Anyway, as governments continue to close radio services in deference to video-based external services, I figure getting the existing multilingual audio programming into the podcast ecology would be a strategic. Is anyone else out there working on this or interested in this? I can help bring listeners if others can get the audio into podcast feeds. Thanks, Steve
