I do. Most stations in my region are just crappy music and dumb call-in shows, but there’s still a few stations with quality programming. FM radio is where I get my news, where I listen to press conferences, old-school audio theatre and (surprisingly) where I get new music recommendations. Hard to believe that modern streaming platforms’ algorithms can be outperformed by traditional media.

      Yeah we have BBC in the UK which I assume is the same as NPR (man I hate that I know so may American terms 😂) , but I want a bit of variety as Classic FM plays more popular songs more often and happy to hear ads to support them although the ads are a bit more high brow on classic FM than say Planet Rock.
