Radio remains a pervasive medium for mass information dissemination, with AM/FM stations reaching more Americans than either smartphone-based social networking or live television. Increasingly, radio broadcasts are also streamed online and accessed over the Internet. We present WavePulse, a framework that records, documents, and analyzes radio content in real-time. While our framework is generally applicable, we showcase the efficacy of WavePulse in a collaborative project with a team of political scientists focusing on the 2024 Presidential Elections. We use WavePulse to monitor livestreams of 396 news radio stations over a period of three months, processing close to 500,000 hours of audio streams. These streams were converted into time-stamped, diarized transcripts and analyzed to track answer key political science questions at both the national and state levels. Our analysis revealed how local issues interacted with national trends, providing insights into information flow. Our results demonstrate WavePulse's efficacy in capturing and analyzing content from radio livestreams sourced from the Web. Code and dataset can be accessed at \url{https://wave-pulse.io}.

Business person Brian Beaumont has overcome challenges brought on by dyslexia. Brian Beaumont was a below average student prior to entering graduate school in the early 1980s. So Beaumont, now 60, asked his professors if he could tape their lectures to make better use of his 60- to 90-minute commute time in and around Los Angeles. "I did not realize at the time I was making an accommodation for my dyslexia," Beaumont says. "I had problems listening and taking notes at the same time. Now, I could sit back and just listen to the lecture. I could focus on the main points the professor was making."
