I found a very old small transistor radio when cleaning out my garage today. I put in some new batteries, turned it on, and put on shelf while I kept cleaning garage.
It was fun not having to worry about streaming or internet connection or anything. I just keep the damn thing on 24 hours a day now while turned to a low volume. Gives some good “old-time gas station in middle of nowhere” vibes.
I’m definitely old enough to remember radio, but I’ve been streaming for many years so I could cater to my tastes. My local college radio station seems to play just about every single style of music out there.
