RADIO 2Fun is the first online radio of Bangladesh, which started its journey from the last quarter of 2008 and recently celebrated its first anniversary. Though in Bangladesh it is a new concept to run an online radio, but still Radio 2Fun managed to gain popularity very quickly. The live programmes are the main attraction of Radio 2Fun, where people from all over the world can participate without any charge. Because of online transmission, Radio 2Fun is broadcasting its programmes worldwide. Bangladeshi people from all over the world finally got the opportunity to enjoy online radio programmes from a Bangladeshi online radio channel and an immense response from the audience shows their interest for such form of entertainment.

Day by day the listeners from Bangladesh are increasing at fast rate. The technology used in Radio 2Fun is very user friendly which is another reason behind its popularity.

A Really Bad Day

THERE was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

"I come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."
