Listen
- the RADIO in Whole Wheat Radio
Alaska #1 Lowspeed connects you to the audio stream, - use this link if you internet connection is dial-up, or if you are having problems maintaining a connection to the high-speed stream
Alaska #2 Highspeed connects you to the same audio, and is best if you have a high-speed internet connection, i.e. dsl, cable or the like
The third link is Problems Listening which has lots of helpful troubleshooting advice if you have clicked the Alaska #1 or #2, made sure your speakers are plugged in and turned on, and you still don't hear anything!
