I enjoyed listening to the rabid communist stations, they were all pretty extreme like North Korea today. It gave me a sense of just how dangerous the outside world really was. Radio Tirana (Albania) was probably the weirdest. I have fond memories hearing the Red Chinese screaming against “American imperialists and their running dogs”. I also was thrilled to hear the heroic production figures of Pipe Factory #47, or whatever.

Radio Tirane was omnipresent. As I said before, I've never picked up North Korea.

When I first started listening, Mao was still alive. Their station was called "Radio Peking" back then (none of this "Beijing" nonsense; that came later). I don't remember a great deal of the programming, but I do recall a segment on some sort of operation that could restore sight to the blind. They quoted one patient as saying "to Chairman Mao and socialism, we owe our thanks."

I also remember a "revolutionary folk song" entitled Joy of Emancipation.

I provided a sample of Radio Peking in #98. They even made the point of repeating Chairman Mao’s quote, twice!
