Do you still like to listen to the radio? :)

I hope I'll win a radio set in a contest - it's a retro looking, wooden radio (to win it, I need to write what Polish song written before the WW2 I like most) - an when/if (!) I win, I'll listen to it :) When I was a young child, my grandparents used to have in their kitchen a radio set bought by my mom and i enjoyed listening to it - I remember that once our dog Żaba, while listening to the barking of numerous dogs from the radio (no idea what it was - maybe some program about an animal shelter?), started to bark loudly herself :D I won once another radio set but I gave it to my uncle.

I don't listen to the radio any more but if I win, I'll love to listen to it :D The last time I listened to the Internet radio, was in January when my children's short story was on it :)

P.S. i think I'll write about this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYkFiUs ... rt_radio=1 It's "Love Will Forgive You Everything" :D

I listen to the radio every December when the Christmas songs are on.

I listen to Capital Chill quite a bit. Or BBC 5 Live when I want news.

I haven't listened to regular on the air radio in many years. I have a much wider variety & fewer commercials with streaming sites & apps than with commercial radio. With standard commercial radio they play 40 minutes of music at most during an hour & the songs repeat every hour or so. Commercial radio is good on a car ride but since I ride buses I use earbuds & my phone's internet & apps. The phone I'm planning to preorder might have an FM radio feature but that's not a factor for why I'll get it though I might try using it.

Always while in the car. But never at home. I don't even have a home radio anymore.

Never.

I used to listen to the death metal show on CIUT when I was younger, but they don't have it anymore afaik.

No, I never listened to the radio anywhere really aside from when I was in a car (when I was growing up).

Nowadays I make sure the radio is off when I am riding in a car. I don't like that sort of distracting noise whilst I am a passenger.
