I do. Most stations in my region are just crappy music and dumb call-in shows, but there’s still a few stations with quality programming. FM radio is where I get my news, where I listen to press conferences, old-school audio theatre and (surprisingly) where I get new music recommendations. Hard to believe that modern streaming platforms’ algorithms can be outperformed by traditional media.
This is the only reason I keep a Sirius/XM subscription going (that and I got a cheap rate after trying to quit). While DJs are mostly insufferable, some of them do know what they’re doing and can prep a set list, talk intelligently about it, and give you more than just algo-slop.
That can be especially effective on some of the genre-specific stations. I almost feel like I’m learning something when Richard Blade is on First Wave and he can really put together a set. Billy Idol is almost funny with how quickly he announces songs but if he has a guest it’s usually a fascinating conversation.
