carries it overnight, from midnight to 5 am.

That's why I'm often up and posting here during the night. I stay up to listen to it, sometimes just for an hour or sometimes longer if they are covering something I really want to know more about from an international perspective.

(Also why I am not here on DU some mornings. Got to sleep sometime. )
