Radio is a Foreign Country is a new mixtape series run by Kenneth Routon from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Besides other regular podcast formats that fill up the hidden corners of the world wide web, RIAFC proposes a unique listening experience. Imagine yourself trapped into a cheap hostel located somewhere in a far out obscure small town, with only a portable radio in your pocket and you find yourself switching through the radio stations.
This special episode of Into the Archives podcast comprises radio transmissions and vintage records from around the world (China, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Iraq, Lebanon, Algeria, Ethiopia, Somalia and Tanzania), original Balinese gamelan recordings, Ghazal classics, film soundtracks, radio broadcasts from Kashgar, bootleg cassettes, shortwave radio recordings and more.
