Still like the radio in the car , and transistor radio in the bathroom

Fair enough! The only time I hear the radio is in public places like the mall lol I always have my spotify connected to my car.

Emergency radio will always be essential.

Nowadays tho when there's a natural disaster or emergency it gets sent to your smartphone/tablets.

This is true, but after a real natural disaster, those smartphones and tablets will be useless for a while. We have a good old fashioned am radio in our emergency supplies at home.

Radio was my jam.. lol
I still have have an LG73 water bottle.

Same Sniffyman l could never listen to just one station l would listen to every station up and down the dial and at night l would do DXing to see what long distance stations l could pull in it was a fun hobby.

Car makers were talking about doing away with the AM frequency but it's needed for emergencies when cells fail during a disaster your left with AM in your car or on your battery operated radio.

Radio just isn't important anymore after streaming took over

This is true Weedoman as mentioned l stream my music but l do tune into celestial radio for news, weather and sports using my real player Canada app or iHeart radio app.

I never could figure out as l got older Skipper how the heck did the batteries in the radio on Gilligan's Island stay charged all those years or never leaked there were no solar batteries back then.

I used to listen to CBC radio driving back and forth to work everyday, but for the past year I've almost entirely just listened to podcasts. Some of them are on CBC radio (The Debators and The Age of Persuasion), but mostly it's stuff the CBC no longer approves of (Viva Frei, New Discourses, Honestly with Bari Weiss, Dark Horse Podcast, TRIGGERnometry, and *gasp* Joe Rogan).
