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.

    I only listen to Craig Charles on radio 6, do you have any shows you would recommend ?

    I listen to a lot of lbc which is a call in / talk station with news and has some amazing calibre callers.

    I sometimes listen to wfmu which has no advertising and you are liable to hear a ridiculous range of different things.

      To be fair, I’m mostly about Craig Charles as well. His funk and soul show is a genuine highlight of my week while I’m cooking.

      As for other shows; Jarvis Cocker has just come back on Sunday afternoons, which is very welcome. Also, Cerys Matthews on a Sunday is great.
