I have to come clean and admit, I love radio, indeed as our word get ever more multimedia rich, HD enhance and 3D spectactulastic, I find myself retreating to the world of radio and one concession to technology that of podcasts.

Along with this I like radios, I keep on acquiring them; today I gave my brother a DAB radio as a late present and I already miss it.  :(      :rolleyes:


So do you like radio ?

If so how and what sort of stations do you listen to ?

I did like radio, but the only decent radio station in the area changed their format to adult contemporary.  I suppose I could look at satellite radio or something, but there's no point.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I love listening to reactionary AM talk radio such Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh.  :blush:

I use Pandora a lot as well.

Oops I seem to have bought a little radio from the Far East, it was only $8-9 and my finger accidentally pressed the mouse button when the cursor was hovering over the buy it now button.  :blush:

Love listening to radio biking to and from work, also listen a lot at home. I'm considering a Sonos Play 5 for the kitchen, mostly for the Internet Radio.

There are some radio programmes I like listening to on occasion...however only pre-recorded. I tend never to listen to live radio unless I'm driving or working somewhere or there's football on and I can't get a stream.
Generally no.
Which is weird as I often use the TV like a radio, not really paying attention to the images, just listening whilst I do something else.

Yep, with a preference for AM.  We have three good AM sports radio stations here and a couple decent AM talk stations.  Wish I had an AM HD radio receiver in my car.  We have one good FM station and a couple so-so.  The rest are absolute crap.

Only listen to over the air radio in the car.  With iHeartRadio on my phone, PC, and now Xbox (as well as Pandora) I don't really miss Sirius.

podcast is the new radio. I'm not going to bother listening to "all hits all the time" bs. I miss Radio 4.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.

I like Ö1, which has classical music, news, documentaries and educational bits, plus the occasional radioplay.

I normally only listen to it over breakfast for news and classical music, though.

They're also commercial free which is a big plus.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
