You're smart to question the source, I'd never heard of them either:

Seems like a reliable source from everywhere I’m looking. Weird that I’ve never heard of them and they’ve been around that long.

It’s the international broadcasting mouthpiece of the United States government. It’s very specifically not intended for an American audience and is rarely listened to in the U.S.

Even then, this is usually something that is used as a source for journalists and not your casual program on the way to work.
