When my shortwave worked, I liked to listen to Voice of America and the BBC. Also, there was one hardcore religious fundamentalist who was a riot to listen to. I can't remember his name, but he was on TV a lot (I think he had his own channel) as well as on the shortwave. He wore a cowboy hat, two pairs of glasses(!) and always had a cigar in his mouth. He was a lot of fun sometimes.

I liked Art Bell, too. He always had funky UFO and conspiracy stuff going on.
