I loved radio, but it went to hell. There used to be a mystery series on every night at 9 on one of our AM stations, but now it’s all national political talk - hour after hour of pissed off people whining and complaining. I heard WLW (Cincinnati) in the house and in the barn every morning from the time I was just a kid. It had local news, music, farm price reports, etc. it was calm and conversational. The last time I listened it was all locally based political talk - more pissed off people whining and complaining with a few news headlines and traffic now and then. Our top 40 station is now all sports talk. Seems like everyone wants to use radio for 2 way communication.
I listen to podcasts 2 or 3 hours a day now. There is a lot of great entertaining and informative content available.
