swissinfo Hits the Airwaves

BERN, Switzerland, October 4/PRNewswire/ -- The English service has launched an audio Podcast service. As the successor to Swiss Radio International, swissinfo is continuing a tradition that began more than 70 years ago with the words, "This is Switzerland calling".

The current affairs Podcast highlights the top stories of the week in Switzerland as well as offbeat and cultural news. The reports give a voice to the people making the headlines or who have a unique story to tell. The Podcast compliments the news and feature texts available on our website, and - because it can be downloaded to an MP3 player - gives users the advantage of listening when they want, where they want and how they want. Of course, the Podcast can also be played online.

This week, hear how American-style politicking has come to Switzerland and why a magic line could become the next best thing to a world wonder.

swissinfo is an enterprise of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation. The internet information platform http://www.swissinfo.ch provides news about Switzerland in the form of text, image, audio and video reports in nine languages. The focus is on Swiss politics, business, social affairs, travel & culture as well as science & technology.
