I quite understand your father's discomfort with too many choices. As an oldie myself, I find it difficult to choose what to listen to among such a cornucopia of goodies and gadgets to deliver them and it seems somehow wrong to be able to have whatever I want whenever I want it.
You did not mention which newspapers your father likes. I found a UK website that reads papers for the blind http://www.newspapersfortheblind.org. It does not have podcasts so I don't think that there is anyway to listen to it on the radio, but your father could listen to it directly on his computer. There is a US based site that provides newspaper reading in a variety of formats. One they call "Podable News" which sounds like it might be usable with the radio. It requires an application form to get an ID and password so I was unable to test it out. http://www.nfbnewslineonline.org. The New York Times does have a podcast on the weekday front page stories and a variety of other podcasts, but not a straight reading of the paper http://www.nytimes.com/pages/podcasts/index.html. The best bet is to go to the websites of your father's favorite papers and see what they have. It is generally a mixed bag. Our local public radio station now has 24 hour classical music. If your father would like to try it, just add the URL to his favorites http://vprclassical.streamguys.net/vprclassical128.mp3 -- mpower9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mpower9's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33930 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88495 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
