Why is it so insanely hard to discover how I can listen to English-language radio commentary of the IPL #ipl2026? Also: how can I listen to radio commentary of the IPL? (No I am not interested in the TV broadcast on any channel.) Thanks!

Faust in Bucharest - my review for Opera Now. tl:dr - no, the devil doesn't have all the best tunes. Marguerite has most of them, at least when sung by Anita Hartig.
