I do. I have an interest in old time radio. Especially the horror and sci Fi ones. It's interesting to see what it was like back then. The commercials are funny. The subject matter could be pretty touchy. There's a story about a gas that turns people inside out that although it's only audio it's somehow more disturbing than actually seeing it. The Simpsons made fun of that one in one of the earlier treehouse of horror episodes. Its interesting because of all the things that were current then are history now.

Definitely. In the car and in my bedroom. Fantastic FM station near me with oldies from the 60's, 70's, and 80's, and sometimes earlier. You can listen online at KQRZ. org

I don’t listen to the radio on my own but they put it on at my job so I do listen to it almost every day
When I got into it, I listened to top 40 AM radio. When disco reared its ugly head, I switched to a prog rock station. About 15 years later, I noticed that they stopped progressing about 5 years earlier! So, I switched to the oldies station. They were playing lots of great stuff I grew up with in the early `60's! My dad used to listen to that station in the `60's when they were playing big band. They tend to stay at least 20 years behind the times. After about 10 years with them, they started playing the same 12 records the prog station had been playing since the late `70's! So, I gave up on radio. Nobody was playing anything I wanted to hear, nor would they even THINK about hiring ME to play that kind of stuff so, no more for me, thanks!! These days, I mostly listen to nothing. I have tons of records I've never heard yet and a bunch more I played once or twice when I first got them, in the `80's and `90's, which I WOULD listen to, now, if I had my stereo here!
I'm hoping to have number 23 done in The Enpsychlopedia, soon so, when Spring comes, I'll listen to that, again. I haven't heard it in at least two years, back when there was only 20 CD's of it done. For that matter, I'm HOPING to have number 24 done by the time Spring gets here! In a few days, or so, I'll start listening to the updated version of The Psych Demos. I just added about 20 CD's worth of new psych to it a couple weeks ago.I do quite often. I usually have the radio on in the kitchen to listen to sports broadcasts, sports talk or news as I cook. Sometimes I'll turn the radio on when I'm in the mood to listen to the local jazz station, but that's not often. I'd listen to the radio more, but the station I used to listen to changed and it doesn't play as much music that I like anymore.
I personally don't, but I know some people still do because they enjoy listening to talk shows on the radio.
I remember listening to ballgames on the radio. I think Howard Cosell hosted them? No? Yes?I listen to Classical KUSC while driving because it eases the stress of dealing with so many thoughtless and aggressive drivers.
Old Fashioned? Never!
https://www.youtube.com/embed/upr3FcWqjh8I wouldn’t mind one, but prefer choosing which songs come up with Spotify. One nice thing about a radio however is the possibility of finding a song you like and have never heard before. It’s easy enough to find new songs online, but the surprise factor is nice when it happens.
Only in the car when my Bluetooth doesn't wanna connect to my phone
I listen to the radio in my car, primarily for news and traffic advisories
I dont have time for anything but silence in my spare time..
I listen to radio much more than I watch TV. In fact, when I watch sports, I usually mute it and turn on the radio feed of the game because radio announcers are so much better than TV announcers.
Every day, typically talk radio in the morning for news, then in the evening music. I used to listen to. mp3s, but it makes the commute feel more isolating than connecting with the world around you even a little.
I'm either listening to the radio or cds. Most of the time it's the radio. Of course it's a classic rock station
yeah i like the local DJ's on the radio so i listen to them when they're on.
At work all I have is the radio so I don't have much choice.
I listen to sports radio sometimes, but never music. I’d need to be in a situation where my phone was dead or out of service before I resorted to that.
Much like most good things in the music world, radio is dead.
Yes. Occasionally streaming at home, but mostly in the car.
Yes, but only while driving in the car, and typically to talk radio.
Yes listen to it most days, tbf it’s streamed rather than on a radio.
