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.

    Every once in a while when I’m bored. I grew up with an old portable radio and then an ipod nano 6 that had a radio, whenever I got tired of the music I’d just open the radio app and listen for a few hours.

    There’s a lot of music in my country that I don’t listen to often but every once in a while I get the urge.

    It’s also very nostalgic, listening to someone slice talk and play songs they want to play, with timed segments instead of an algorithm , listening to the stations fade when you get too far like on childhood road trips.
