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 wouldn’t have a problem with listening to FM radio if they actually played music and I didn’t just hear commercials the entire 45-60 minute drive.

    The only stations that exist where I am are all owned by ClearChannel and it’s pretty much all ads all the time, broken up by the occasional song and not the other way around like it used to be.

      Yep, that’s what turned me off of radio in the first place. But luckily I have a decent college radio station that I can pick up now.
