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.

    I can’t say I miss it from having once been the go-to platform. I’ll trade radio over to having listening to whatever is on my media stick, PodBean or Sirius in comparison.

    I’ve only gone to radio when I don’t have either of those things, it’s just white noise. I try listening to sports stuff, I just get annoying hosts with low-IQ callers calling in, I get music stations that repeat shit over and over .etc

    And it’s like, I don’t miss this as much as I thought.
