Answer 2

There are various podcasts on the AFN websites. To listen live, you have to have a special decoder:

<<The American Forces Radio and TV Service (AFRTS) must ensure that only authorized audience members own or lease an AFRTS PowerVu decoder.  According to Department of Defense regulations, only the following individuals are eligible to receive AFRTS:  Active duty US military service members and DoD civilians assigned or deployed overseas, and their accompanying family members; Direct Hire US Government State Department Employees assigned overseas, DoD Direct Hire Contractors who are US citizens and specifically authorized by the host command.  Additionally, retired military may purchase decoders at exchanges selling them or directly from Scientific Atlanta with permission from HQ AFRTS>>
