Originally posted by NoEarthlyReasonI used to listen to folk music on XM radio but they killed that program, then I started listening to audio books on another channel and they killed that one and put in some dirty sex show, I think that was what it was called 'dirty sex'. Seems XM radio doesn't care for actual culture. There is one classical music channel and one opera channel but that is it for culture on XM now.
sonhouse, do you listen to much radio? Now that Internet radio has well-and-truly arrived, I sometimes listen to US stations as well as others around the world — I bookmark the ones I like in TuneIn. Are there any stations you'd particularly recommend?
I have a long commute to work so don't have much to listen to now. There are some old time drama radio shows on, Dragnet on the radio, Dick Powell doing Richard Diamond, detective, some X minus 1 sci fi and such and comedies.
I listen to 'folk alley' sometimes,

They have streaming audio. Wish I could get it in my car. Don't want to pay 70 bucks a month for smart phone data though.
