#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude asks: What is your favorite radio station?

Thanks to SiriusXM, Spotify premium, and podcasts, I rarely listen to over-the-air radio anymore. But my favorite station is still probably Classical KUSC. I love the hosts‘ blend of musical knowledge and humor, and I enjoy that they include a variety of composers in their rotation, including modern works, movie scores, and video game music as shown in this show promo.

My favorite radio station is my local radio station. It‘s 94.5 The Buzz in Houston. The song that I just listened to the last few minutes of on the website was Rx (Medicate) by Theory Of A Deadman. I like that song. I haven‘t listened to this station in a while but I know that I can ask Alexa to play the station on my Amazon Echo device. I asked her to play it before. She can play any radio station that you want.

I have the unfortunate job of relaying the news that this short story collection is extraordinary and Em may be at the vertices of "beautiful" and "brilliant" on a graph of those categories. This is highly unfair, but also means that I can love her unconditionally because why would I even bother being toxically envious? We are different species.

And yet. What struck me about all of these stories was just the relatability of her experience.

I don't listen to much radio, but I used to live listening to Alan Cross' Ongoing History of New Music on Sunday mornings on The Edge. Great storytelling, it was always a treat to listen to in the car!

I haven't listened to it yet in its podcast era, but I really should! https://open.spotify.com/show/2UHz6WqVFz6iZkWgZ5lXDw?si=LqoQTI-kTimgB56nWqdKwA

I'll join @dabbe and @Cuilin in naming NPR as my personal favorite (and only) radio station I regularly listen to. My local affiliate WNYC is amazing: I listen in my car on 93.9 and stream it at home. I do miss having a music station (shout out to WFUV, my last fav) but I enjoy the new music updates from John Schaefer, and I'm not sure who selects the musical interludes between pieces, but they choose really good songs!

Favourite radio station? Hmmm 🤔 It's a toss up for me between BBC Radio 3 and 4, but as I'm currently listening to the Night Tracks programme, I'll feature 3. I love discovering classical and avant garde music here.
Radio 4 has excellent drama, science, comedy and culture shows, of which my favourite is probably In Our Time, with national treasure Melvyn Bragg. 🎙️📡📻

I discovered The Current while on vacation in Minnesota. I really enjoy their programming, especially Teenage Kicks. Luckily I can listen online, so it's not a vacay only treat!

Love the plays on BBC 4
I grew up listening to 2 fm, RIP Gerry Ryan my all time favorite DJ.
I also like NPR. Ira Glass, Terry Gross and “Wait, Wait don‘t tell me”. I liked Diane Rehm too.

#1 favorite radio station? All Things Considered ... it would be NPR. Pretty much all of it. Am I dating myself? 😂

My penultimate AI themed #tuesdaytunes. I asked for Minnie Riperton (Worst likeness of all AI pics I‘ve had generated) reading The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes; Carlos Santana reading Call of Cthulhu. I specifically asked for Genesis era Peter Gabriel reading Jane Eyre. Chick Corea reading James and the Giant Peach. Obviously Kate Bush would read Wuthering Heights and Elvis Costello doesn‘t want to go to Chelsea so reads Fever Pitch instead.
