Equipment picking up radio signals - is this normal?

I'm listening to some Asian-language radio station through my headphones, which are connected to my audio interface, and not to a radio. Is this kind of signal bleed normal?
If I wanted to stop this from happening, how would I go about it?

Depending on where you live, yes thats normal. You need Ferrite Beads to make it stop.

wow, that sux.
before you go buy anything, try moving your whole setup a few feet in any direction. The problem will probably go away.

Is there a power strip there in the chain? Those things will do it. I had that issue a long time ago, and switching from a power strip to a power conditioner made it go away.

I don't think that's it...I honestly think it's my headphones that are picking up the signal because it's only when I am sitting in a specific spot that I get the radio signal. Those fermite beads are apparently super cheap so I'll try clamping on on, and see what happens.
It would actually be kind of cool if I could record what I'm hearing...
