Can you recommend me a Norwegian radio?

Postby astromule » Mon Nov 30, 2015 12:07 am

Hi! Although I asked this on Reddit a while ago, I'm still in the same place.
I like "alltid nyheter", but unfortunately, when I have the time to listen Norwegian, it's when the BBC service is on. I've tried listening to "radioresepsjonen" but I didn't like it.

Norwegian
https://radio.nrk.no/direkte/alltid_nyheter

Here's an example of radios that I like in other languages:

German

Italian

Swedish

Portuguese (Brazil)

Portuguese (Portugal)
http://www.portugues.rfi.fr/
French

Danish

Can you recommend me a radio in Norwegian where they're always talking? I prefer "serious" subjects, in the sense that I don't like those shows where they're always laughing at everything.

Is there a way to browse TuneIn with a Norwegian IP? I tried to use an online proxy, but it didn't work. Because TuneIn can filter for "talked", "news", but I only receive radios in Spanish, because of my IP.

Thank you very much in advance.

I checked again Reddit and I found this one: https://player.fm/series/nrk-urix, that seems interesting and it's in the line of what I'm searching for. Nevertheless, any other recommendations are welcomed. :)

I can remember looking for Norwegian radio to listen to when I was trying to learn Norwegian some years ago, and not having much luck.

However, when I looked here:

https://radio.nrk.no/programmer

there is a list of categories. I happened to look at "literatur" and eventually found a list of podcasts, so for that category at least one would be able to choose a particular programme and listen to it when one liked (i.e. in podcast form). Hopefully it's the same for some categories that you might like.

I know what you mean I think by "serious" and can relate. I myself like discussions / interviews "in-depth" - they don't have to be "humourless" by any means, but not those sort of brainless silly conversations one gets on typical "talk shows", where basically people have just come on to plug a film, book or TV show and for the interviewer it's just about getting some laughs for "entertainment".

I guess you know about this?

Good luck with finding something that you find satisfying.

Edited for clarity (hopefully)

Does it have to be live? You can get dozens of podcasts from http://www.nrk.no/podkast/. My favourite is Språkteigen, a show about the Norwegian language.
