For years, the General Assembly has had links to audio streaming of both houses that suffered from quality, and if you missed something, that was it, there were no second chances to hear the audio.
Now, there is Voter Radio. Voter Radio has a player [launch player] that will play audio from past sessions (fixed schedule), and with other programming 24 hours a day.
They also have podcasts of each day's sessions available to download!
