I find talkback radio a pain to listen to on line while travelling too.  In fact I find talkback radio a pain to listen to....full stop, but to each his own.

You could check out the Sangean range.  They have digital tuning and preset buttons like a car radio. (do not confuse with the new digital radio broadcasting, I'm referring to normal old fashioned (analogue) radio).   They can be a bit "battery hungry" so you may want to consider using rechargeable batteries and/or a "plug-pak" power supply.

Many regional commercial stations carry capital city talkback depending on their network affiliations, however the ABC regionals tend to do their own thing.

Milo,turn on your GPS and listen to that.Just like a know all talk back host.lol.I usually end up listening to the ABC or local FM stations.Happy listening Milo.Cheers.Ibbo.
