We have an under-the-shelf radio in our kitchen that we use once in a while. I will listen to Cubs games while cooking and if the weather is just right, we'll use it for Nebraska football games (can usually get the signal 120+ miles away from Omaha on a nice day).
In my car I'll listen to an AM station's morning show on my way to work. Otherwise I listen Sirius XM radio while in the car.

I have a radio in my house. I often listen to my local sports talk radio station. I have my favorite guys who are on from 10 - 2 pm. When I’m cleaning or taking a shower, I listen to them. Although, lately I have switched over to listening to podcasts occasionally, on my iPad. I almost never listen to music.

We have a clock radio in our bedroom, but we only use it to wake up. We also have an emergency radio, that we used once during a long power outage for music.

DSO has a huge tradesman radio (that's the size of a boom box from the 80s!). We spend a lot of time outside in the warmer weather, and we keep the radio outside to listen to our favourite radio shows on the weekends. I used to have a little digital radio for inside, but now I just listen on the radio app on my phone.
I still see a few older people using transistor radios at the football, so they can listen to the live commentary on the radio at the same time. You can't do that on the apps or a digital radio, because there is too much of a delay. "And he lines up for goal, kicks the balls, aaaaaaand......." Nope, the ball is already back in the centre square!

I chose other, but upon thinking we do have an older radio/boom box in the garage that is rarely used. I do listen to "radio stations" tho. Mostly in the car or on alexa in the house.
I grew up with warm summer nights with Detroit Tiger baseball blasting on every radio in town LOL. And polka music EVERY Sunday morning when my great grandfather visited after church. Then when I was a mgr of a retail drug store I always had the local talk radio station on in my office and on my drive home. My interest in politics drew from AM and public radio. So radio was huge for me for long snippets of time.

I tune in to a local radio channel in my car when I’m driving around town because I like to hear announcements of local interest. On trips out of the area, I stream music or podcasts through Spotify.
Inside my home, I have music on much of the time but it’s Spotify playlists streamed through various Bluetooth devices.

I have radios/stereos in the living room, main bedroom and garage. I listen to them all the time. I also stream Sirius XM on a Bluetooth speaker. I also have an alarm clock radio.

I like to listen to local radio in the car to hear what's going on, events, opinions etc that are local.

I listened to the radio for a short time when I had a free Siriusxm subscription. Otherwise, I stream music or podcasts.
Growing up, that's all I did was listen to the radio. Waiting for a favorite song to come on so I could record it.

I only have a radio in the car. However, during FB season, I'll listen to the local morning sports shows via Apps vs an actual radio.

Weekdays I listen to a live radio station on the IHeartRadio app. I enjoy the morning show and feel like I know the DJs/personalities since I"ve been listening for so long. I've always listened to a morning show while I get ready for work, it used to be on a radio, now it's on my phone.
I'll flip around the radio stations while I'm in my car, but there isn't often anything I want to listen to so I'll switch over to satellite radio.
DH and I listen to the radio call-in show after our local college football games. We like to hear the coaches interview, the stats, and the take away from the game.

Our only radios are in our vehicles but we both listen to the radio in the house occasionally; me through the MLB app when I can’t view a baseball game, and him through his phone when he can’t watch a football game.

When the baseball game I want to watch was broadcast on a different than usual network and I didn’t like the announcers I tried to watch on the streaming service and listen on the app. Yeah, that didn’t work out too well for me for exactly the reason described!
