Amusing how much Russian Radio is in English — most of the bumpers and songs, anyway. If you like your classic American hard rock, but don’t mind occasionally breaking it up with something new that challenges you a bit, I recommend giving Radio Maximum out of Moscow a shot. The late-night hosts (actually it’s morning there when I’m listening around bedtime), Pashkov and Kiriloff speak in Russian, but their tone is the universal Morning Zoo format. One high-voiced guy full of energy; the other, a deep voice filled with skepticism and/or annoyance. Amusingly, after months of listening, I realized you can put Google Translate in conversation mode and it will give you a transcript of their show. The jokes are not that far off what you hear in the states. It’s pretty universal.
