When I had a look at Afghanistan radio, I mentioned that I had signed up to Arman FM's mailing list, so I could find out how they are doing. They, or their hired spam-bots, sent me this link to their live feed.
I will say again that I do not speak the language, so I am not certain what is going on, but it sounds to me like they are holding a contest where the callers have to sing a pop song from memory. If the caller doesn't sing the song correctly in time, then time-bomb sound effects start to go off.
Considering what I referred to before as Afghanistan's "infrastructure problems," I have to say that this is the most guts I have ever seen from a pop radio format.
I also note from the link that the Afghans are raising money amongst themselves to give to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Boy, does that make me feel proud to be an American.
