I'd be concerned about situational awareness wearing a radio headset. While a radio headset would be good to keep the broadcast news coming in, that headset could deny SA as to what is happening close by.

Get a small cheap AM/FM radio such as a Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio or a maybe a Grundig M300 World Radio and use with a single ear earbud or teh built-in speaker. Keep at least one ear for that part of the world that can immediately impact your well being.
