A global shortwave broadcast for just 35 people

We get your thoughts on the BBC’s midwinter shortwave broadcast to Antarctica. Plus there’s another in our insightful and often revealing series “How I Hear”.

How an annual shortwave tradition aimed at just a handful of listeners trapped in 24 hours of darkness got itself a global audience. We share listeners' thoughts on the BBC’s midwinter broadcast to Antarctica. And we are always keen to get to know about listeners' everyday lives and habits, so there’s another in our series How I Hear.
