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.


Absolutely, community radio stations WORT and WYMS are at the top for music, WPR for news and classical. The charming unpredictability of community funded radio is a beautiful thing, streaming falls flat as a pancake against a well run, non-corporate, station.
