You are listening to...

I like listening to ambient music. It can be soft or loud, poetic and moving; almost like I should be watching a movie or drama based on its soundtrack.

I like listening to police radio traffic. It's dialogue cryptic with their codes and at times monotone, most of the time a constant conversation between officer and dispatch. I want to be watching COPS, the First 48 or even Law and Order: SVU. I think of him.

Now I have a little bit of both worlds with You Are Listening To New York. It pairs ambient music with police radio of different departments nationwide. You can listen to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, or Montreal. I'm not sure though if the broadcasts are a prerecording or if its real time.
