I can't remember the last time I listened to the radio. Am/Fm .

Radio ads kill brain cells. 😵💫
My wife listens to local radio stations in her car, when I use hers I turn it off. To me it feels like having an animation team around, just to keep you from turning all sour. I like her perspective on it, she calls it noise with rhythm.
I do it when I am in the car (not often) and it explains perfectly why my podcast is and has been so successful. 60 minutes to an hour, I'd say in that hour 35 minutes are commercials and 💩 like that and only 25 minutes as "content" and all the content is the same.
Music channels even in genres I like are WORSE, perhaps 35 minutes of music but the music is garbage, absolute total shit. This isn't me being old and crotchety either, it is absolute garbage. I get hip hop and dance club shit, but why the fuck is it on Country and Classic Rock Stations.
Top 40 music used to be half decent and half garbage. Now it is all garbage, I blame DEI. When Beyoncé is winning Country Album of the year you know that industry is dead.
Me too 😂
Same. I rebuilt an iPod classic, increased the memory, and loaded it with my CD collection, in lossless format. It is connected to the car stereo and when I want music, that’s where it comes from. It sounds SO much better than the radio.
A recent interesting commentary on the state of broadcast radio was nostr:npub13ql75nq8rldygpkjke47y893akh5tglqtqzs6cspancaxktthsusvfqcg7 discussing how Trump was nearly assassinated and radio barely had any live coverage because it happened on a Saturday afternoon after most stations had gone on auto-pilot for the weekend.
Even local news radio stations barely cover local news anymore.
