Today's children can't follow a story accurately, or interpret sound effects. If there isn't a visual component, they are totally lost. It's too bad. I used to include things to "smarten up" the missing senses. Those hours listening to radio were not just fun, they were teaching needed skills.Lianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070239768473614628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-83038625825173977802018-12-01T14:38:10.301-05:002018-12-01T14:38:10.301-05:00Sorry that got a little diced up. delete the first...Sorry that got a little diced up. delete the first <br />The only traditional radio...David Squireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144607647071920674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-80382812119753117442018-12-01T14:29:19.928-05:002018-12-01T14:29:19.928-05:00Shalom Reds.

I think they offer WXPN2 streaming only. WRTI connected with Temple University offers classical in the daytime (12 hours from 6 to 6) and jazz at night (also 6 to 6) WRTI2 reverses the programming, jazz in the day and classical at night. They play Salsa and Latin Jazz on Saturday evening and they also offer gospel music on Sunday early morning. I listen to them all now and then with my Android smartphone. The only traditional radio. Also during the summer I listen to Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees baseball on an app that delivers (for a price) all Major League Baseball radio feeds. The only traditional radio that I listen on a miniature boombox are the broadcasts of Philadelphia Eagles radio where the internet feed is blocked because of “contractual obligations”. I just found an app that offers a connection to the radio feeds of college basketball. I’ve been listening to the Wisconsin Badgers live. There are simply too many good podcasts and radio programs offered as podcasts to listen to and not enough time in the day.<br /><br />I almost forgot. I do have an app that is called Classical fm that originates in the UK and plays a classical feed all day. I enjoy that app a lot.<br />David Squireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144607647071920674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-13275181145985271802018-12-01T13:50:37.962-05:002018-12-01T13:50:37.962-05:00When my husband and I were first married in 1976, ...When my husband and I were first married in 1976, before we had kids in 1983, we would travel the four and a half hours to see my parents and family every so often. We would leave after he got off work from his and his father's business, sometime after 6 or 7 p.m. So, we were on the road when CBS Mystery Radio Theater came on. This program ran from 1974 to 1982. My husband and I both loved it. Riding along in the dark, with a mystery on, was just the best. Then, later there was the jazz I listened to on Saturday nights on NPR, but I have let that lapse. I did catch it here recently.<br /><br />There are two things I'm especially happy about passing on to our two children, who are now 31 and 34. The love of reading is, of course, my first pride and joy legacy to them. Reading and learning and discussing ideas is something they can enjoy the rest of their lives. The other is an attachment to NPR. I'll give my husband more credit on this one, as he is the one who always had it on when he was driving. I tended to go more for music. My daughter has a radio in her house where she can hear it all over, and she has NPR on lots when she's home. Even the nine-year-old knows the names and presenters of programs. It's truly a family affair. My son still listens to NPR, too, although I'm not sure how much these days, as he lives farther away, and I know he listens to a lot of podcasts now. <br /><br />I seem to have gone to audio books when I'm in the car for an hour or longer. But, I do love radio programs. I like seeing radio mysteries performed, too, and I've attended several of those. I wish there were more to go to, like every month.

I also love BBC and I listen to NPR via podcasts. Long live public broadcasting!<br /><br />The CBC runs a national live call-in show on Sunday afternoons called Cross Country Check-up; it's a wonderful view (ear) into the country from coast to coast to coast. If I'm listening in Manitoba, I know my mum is listening in Edmonton two provinces over. I love that about live radio!

Now I'm retired I don't turn on the radio. My husband makes up for it though. He listens to local NPR Saturday mornings for the Cajun hour; Sundays for blues and gospel. Both are on before I'm up for the day. He listens to satellite radio in the car, mainly old radio shows. Some are reallllly awful. You can never go wrong with Jack Benny though. I have to replace the radio/CD player in my car; it is starting to reject some of the CDs and I don't think it is a matter of taste. It is CDs all the way in my car.When I was in high school and college you could get all kinds of music on one radio station. Country western, rock, acid rock, instrumentals, popular, everything. I loved it. Now it seems all the stations specialize which is why I pretty much gave up listening.Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-19828317336780095202018-12-01T12:17:45.105-05:002018-12-01T12:17:45.105-05:00 I used to listen to the radio so diligently, as a...
