It’s hard to believe that 1 Radio News is now 10 years old.
Years before Amazon’s Alexa brought us the flash briefing, the original 1 Radio News made it simple to just play hourly news headlines.
Over the years we added daily news shows and then live news radio streams in English from around the world.
We remain the only Android “podcast” app that finds all the daily news sources for you and let’s you quickly play the latest episode by pressing one button. We’re the quickest way to change the channel! We know that most of you just want the “new” news and that’s what we deliver.
Then came the first version of Pro with the “Play Mix” where you essentially sort your favorites into your own almost live radio station.
A few years ago, we rebuilt 1 Radio News from scratch and now you can support our ongoing curation efforts and access the search, sleep timer, and Play Mix with subscription or one-time purchase within our free app
As we gear up for our anniversary, we’ve just completed round one of our global refresh adding new daily news podcasts from more countries. They are sorted under SHOWS following the international dateline in a Pacific and working our way around the world. We added some extra smarts to our podcast feed reader and now we’ve added more than a dozen “shortwave” programs in English from countries as diverse as Zambia, Nepal, Algeria and CubaDig in and discover global perspectives with NEW content Monday-Friday from most shows in the app.
The rest of the year, we are exploring new featured for our Pro supporters. We decided that unlike our previous version that all the live, hourly, and daily news programming would be FREE (it was always free somewhere) via the app. Now there is so much, you go Pro for search and the Play Mix to make it easy to find your favorites.
As always, we appreciate your feedback and ideas for the app! Contact us: comments@1radionews.com
