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.

    Yes, in the car. But I immediately change frequency when it comes to ads or start to talk too much about useless stuff (for example for some reason at 9am most channels need to waste 15 minutes of people’s lives by reading gpt-generated horoscopes)

    It’s a way to listen to something different all the time, otherwise if I choose Spotify it always the same stuff

    Although some radios are like 50 tracks on loop with pre-recorded talk segments pretending to be live.
