I'll certainly include BBC 4 (science, history, arts, culture, comedy, drama, religion and news) and BBC 7 (comedy and drama) in my list, they've got great stuff too!

...foreign radios? No one, but I train langs with Youtube + musics + lyrics.

[uiliníli]

I thnk musics are a little tricky to understand... That's why I like listening the news at webradios!

[Buckaroo Banzai]

Whatever that lists on my signature that happens to be from radio, even though I don't use to listen to anything as radio (or "live streaming") per se, but I download some of the programs or specific segments.

[uiliníli]

BBC 4's got lots of intersting podcasts, you might enjoy it.

[Fabulous]

None of them.

Yep, but...
An "aseptic" radio accent would be great if you're trying to learn the formalities of some lang, but fails to help you in understanding day-do-day vocabulary, like "wazzup", "gimme", "wattafock?!", "yep", "nah"...

Music+lyric together have also a nice side-effect: improve read'n'write.

none, I rather not listen to radio

[Cezar]

I don't listen web radios, but I guess that BBC should be great. The british english is easy to understand.

To practice english I strongly recommend the Beatles songs....XD

Or Pink Floyd. Ramones. Motörhead. Judas' Priest.

Personally I don't like General American (USA+Canada accent). So I still vote for British.
