I used this service a couple of years ago to listen to the local radio station from my home city.

It's indescribable how homesick it made me, but at the same time I felt so much more connected to my home after hearing the local news, and my regional accent which is somewhat rare.

for context; I'm British, from a city called Coventry (which does not have an accent similar its neighbours) and I live in Sweden, where everyone who speaks English sounds either American or very Swedish.
