[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 193810, member: 341"] My three favorite memories of radio as a kid: 1. Listening to some important soccer match (I had no idea what it was) with my Grampa on his brick-size, brick-heavy transistor radio. 2. Taping a song off the radio--a feat that required lightning reflexes and finesse. 3. Staying up late in my bed with my ear jammed against a Radio Shack radio that was built into a stuffed plush dog to hear the end of the 1987 World Series. I thought that Christmas present was the tackiest thing in the world until that moment--then it became Bond-class spy equipment. I've rekindled my romance with radio, now that for the first time since college, I have a job that involves a substantial auto commute. It was all walking and mass transit before that. I'm not big on wacky drive-time radio, but CT has some solid theme-specific music stations, and our NPR affiliates' local programming can be pretty good (especially the classical music shows on WSHU.) There's even a station that just broadcasts 90s music, just like it did in the 90s... shameless, but yes, I will tune in for some high school nostalgia. [/QUOTE]
