| what I want, when I want, ad-free?
|
| AM radio is still going with conspiracy talk and maybe
| sports radio? I honestly don't know, I've never given AM
| radio a real listen.
|
| Sometimes I get nostalgic for the radio. I remember calling
| in to stations and requesting songs, contests, morning zoo
| hosts, and so on. But it's probably not coming back.

|
| And I have come to the conclusion that I like talk

| weird, I never thought that'd be the case, but I do. In
| fact, I wish I could easily mix my music library into my
| podcast library-- specifically, interrupt podcasts with
| music (maybe replace the ads with a single song).
|
| I also like how easy it is to switch channels to
| something different. I could do that with CarPlay or
| something too with my own music, but then I probably have
| to actually think about it (when I should be thinking
| about driving).
|
| And for people who care about live music events (shows
| etc) it's a great way to find out about those things,
| particularly if your city has a good public radio station
| and not just iHeartMedia.
|
| I'm not sure I Love radio, but I would probably really
| miss it if it wasn't in my car.

| Big stations promote big acts, sure. But that's easy

|
| There was a time I would (late 90s, early 00s) but now?
| Not so much. The ratio of music to ads has gotten awful.
| Even stations that have ostensibly gone back to their

| Like they'll wear the meat suit of genres that were
