Rec | LISTENING TO THE RADIO

📻

- less decision making - pushes you to hear something different - it’s live so you get to hear people talk it’s cute you feel like you’re with them - curated vibe for the time of day - but also love trying radio stations from around the world (try the app radio garden, an 85 year old at my job showed it to me)

Listening to the radio

I was telling my roommates about how i like playing the radio at my work bc i feel like it puts people at ease and gives us things to talk about. It became a long conversation about the stations and the DJs we grew up with as kids and we could all remember exact soundbites. I was reminiscing about listening to local radio stations on trips with family/friends and how it grounded us in an exact place and time. Just a magical invention that feels underrated and sweetly archaic in streaming times 💘

college/ SMALL-TOWN radio

there’s not much that’ll make you feel like a person existing with your own thoughts and feelings until you start tuning into community radio stations, where the biggest sponsor is the local animal shelter. they’re doing some of the most fun stuff over there, because radio is whatever they want it to be! and it’s such a fun way to get cool music recommendations. On college radio stations especially, there are often communist programs and book clubs, which we love. But check out your local radio’s website and see what’s up n coming. Just, great stuff all around. Something about scheduled programs or DJ sets that you look forward to listening heals the body I think. Slower gratification, something or another. And you don’t need to be in the car to tune in, there are tons of radio apps available to supplement your spotify time.
