There is a bit of stuff you could hear, try this
<http://www.zarya.info/Frequencies/FrequenciesISS.php> International Space
Station ISS Radio Frequencies

www.zarya.info/ <http://www.zarya.info/Frequencies/FrequenciesISS.php>
Frequencies/FrequenciesISS.php

Most of the ISS frequencies listed here are active, It will be obvious which
ones are ... There are occasional communication checks from the ISS with US
ground ...

>> but a lot of it is only  when they are over ground stations, mostly in
Russia.

Most of their comms is via their TDRS satellites on SHF and wideband
digital.

I have heard the 143.625 freq on occasions but not recently, also the Ham
repeaters and packet system can be fairly easily heard.

As you can see from the following there is at times a bit of ham activity
from ISS.

When the astronauts are active on ham frequencies you can work them with a
handheld radio if you are lucky ( and have a ham license).

A good wideband VHF antenna would be necessary.
