i grew up with NPR. it was a little island world between country music stations, a sea of static and a faint Oldies station.

it's un-listenable now. I would be stuck on the country station. even the country stations had some early Taylor Swift back then. I assume they went back to 3 minute repetitive stuff that's so predictable AI does better nowadays.

How many "Man, i feel like a woman"s will play before i get to Grandmas.
