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.


My phone Bluetooth is off by default so if I’m just going for a short drive I will listen to my local station. The music selection is generally decent and I don’t mind the chatter. I’ll also switch over for traffic reports if I’m stuck. I’m sure they’re just looking at google maps but it saves me having to do it.
