How many of you remember it? I remember in childhood when we didn't had various channels of TV to watch and no internet then radio was the only way of entertainment. With the time people have almost forgotten radio and I think very few of us listen to it. It has lost popularity now a days. Let's celebrate world radio day.

@sjvg1976 While I'm guilty of plugging my phone in while riding in the van, I use it to charge my phone or get directions sometimes. I prefer the radio, because it's more stable and doesn't cut out or crash like Apple Car play, or Android Auto could do.

Most of the people do that. But these days when one has the faculty to connect phone with the system in the car, people have reduced listening to radio when travelling in the car

Thank you. I grew up with only radio and still prefer it to TV. These days I like internet radio, I get to get many stations and cultures from around the world without having to faff about with FM and AM dialing. Give this one a try on a laptop. I think the app is blocked for some regions:

I remember the days when my relatives and myself would travel to the countryside of Panama to visit my late grandmother. Since there was no television or electricity, we only had shortwave radio and lanterns.

I also have such memories of childhood, when we used to go to our grandmothers place , there was no continuous power supply so we used to listen to the radio more than anything.

I love listening to Hindi songs which the radio stationed relayed and learned most of the songs listening to the radio.

I also remember we used to listen to radio during childhood days as that was the only thing used for the entertainment.

Until a few years ago we listened to the radio in the morning. No more now, as we check the news online.

The radio was so important once. I remember on the farm, the radio announcer would give the time every few minutes. We would listen for the time to gauge when we needed to run for the school bus.
