Would suggest KCRW's News24 Live Stream : Morning Edition and All Things Considered when they air, the rest of the time BBC world service: http://media.kcrw.com/pls/kcrwnews.pls

Thanks emm3fg, it's been ages and eons since I've last curated this list, let alone listened to it. I'm not even sure any of the links work anymore. 2016/2017 since I put any real work into it. I'll poke at it later this week.
