21 July 2009 - The UN Mission in Afghanistan has started its own special page on iTunes for its radio programming.

To launch the free service a special 45 minutes briefing in English on the forthcoming 20 August presidential and provincial council elections has been produced.

The podcast features interviews with the Independent Election Commission, the Electoral Complaints Commission, the Media Commission, the UN’s elections support project UNDP/ELECT, journalists, voters and more.

The iTunes page also includes the latest reports from UNAMA Radio in Dari, Pashto and English.

UNAMA’s weekly radio show in Dari and Pashto – “Afghanistan Today” – produced with the national broadcaster of Afghanistan is also available for downloading.

Reports on Afghanistan produced by UN Radio in New York are also included on the special iTunes page.

Listeners with iTunes installed on their computers can search for “UNAMA Radio” and then subscribe for free to all the latest audio reports and programmes on Afghanistan.

Subscribers will be immediately notified whenever a new podcast is available on the iTunes UNAMA Radio page.

The UNAMA website’s special radio page, where listeners can download MP3 files, features all the audio reports produced on Afghanistan.
