Radio Free Singapore

Opposition politics entered the Internet age when Singapore Democrat Party member Chee Soon Juan launched Radio SDP, a Podcast allowing him "to by-pass the state-controlled media in Singapore". "RadioSDP will webcast speeches of its leaders, analysis of political developments, interviews of dissidents living in exile, and at a later time, feature call-in programmes for citizens." What? No dedications and product placement? This could revolutionise local radio!
However, Chee might find he won't be able to stay on the air long. According to Today, "the Media Development Authority confirmed that podcasting does come under the current regulatory framework. It is still studying developments in this area."
