Only way to listen to WWCR programming right now is through an actual
shortwave radio.

How can the world survive without World Wide Crackpot Radio online?

I often wonder the same thing.

I teach English in China and when students ask me about local accents
in the USA, I would like to refer then to WWCR, but can't.

There's no shortage of weird sounding US preachers on SW. I heard Harold
Camping a few days ago, and he sounds like he's about a week from
checking out. There's another guy, don't know his name, who sounds like
some sort of weird Mr.Rogers impression. Creepy isn't the word for it.

I talk with, well, I attempt to talk to clients in China a few times a
week, and it's sometimes pretty comical. I had a woman today whose name
seemed to be Chinese, but she had a weird speech impediment that made
her sound like she was a Hispanic woman doing Elmer Fudd as a Chinese
guy. I had no idea what she was talking about for several minutes, and
then I had to tell her she had called the wrong facility. That took
about 15 minutes to get her to understand someone there could speak
Mandarin and Cantonese.

I had a hard time keeping from busting out laughing towards the end.
