Why would you consider listening to the radio? What the gently caress? I am triggered

I used to listen to podcasts, but then I started laughing during a bench press and almost killed myself.

I've been listening to nick lutsko recently, good poo poo.

i was trying to not use my phone while lifting weights so i had this crappy old radio you gotta tune setup. I could swear that in every 1 hour of radio there's only 10-15 minutes of songs and the rest is prize competition shilling, adverts and awful host segments.

they play the same poo poo every day too. for some reason its the shakira song hips dont lie from like loving 2006. EVERY DAY.

If you're gonna listen to the radio, just put 6 music on and be done with it. Literally every other station (apart from some of the plays on Radio 4, they can be cool) is garbage. :lol: at even considering putting a non-BBC station on.

Yeah this. Even as someone who hates pretty much 3verything the bbc does radio 6 is far and away the best radio station

the same people who will laugh at podcast listeners and their fake friends will also lecture you about their favourite radio presenters and how they once replied to them on twitter

I got audiobooks on in the background via headphones almost constantly when I’m working. If not that I’lll find something on bbc sounds via headphones or classic FM via stereo

My partner puts on classic fm a lot. I honestly don't see the point as any classical playlist on Spotify would fill the same role and not have adverts.

I enjoy Saturday night at the movies though, and Margherita Taylor does the 10pm - 1pm slot, and she's got a wonderful voice to fall asleep to. So maybe I've just proved myself wrong...

Lord I hate Heart radio so much. Just everything about it - the presenters are all very tedious and safe, the song list is small and dire, and you'll notice that every single pop song with a rap verse has that part awkwardly removed. Presumably too scary for their middle aged white demographic idk

Heart is for people who say "lastminute.com" when they just mean they did something at the last minute

The problem with classic fm is they still play the same poo poo over and over again. If I have to hear one more loving shostakovich piece I'm gonna lose it

Classic fm had some Final Fantasy music in their top 100 one year.
I used to have a car with a lovely radio that only had a CD player that skipped at the tiniest bump so classic fm was the main station used.

Now I've a radio with a 32gb USB stick shoved in.

i used to listen to it in the morning to help me wake up and they had an occasional sunday night one off show where they would play music from videos gam but the whole thing was dripping with condescension and 'of course this is only the merest fraction of what we would call music'

years ago i was on a course with someone who worked at one of the studios hans zimmer does stuff for and he said he happened to be there when they were coming up with the theme for some film or other. said hans zimmer basically just hums the main bit of theme once he's happy with it and then tasks the rest of the musicians to finish it

I had this colleague once who, whenever I had to alter the weekly production schedule ('cos stuff had happened that required changes to be made) would go: "But I thought we were doing xyz this week, not abc? I'm confused dot com." She'd say it in this twee, girly voice, which I'm sure she did on purpose to annoy me.

God, I hated her lol.

Horses bloody love this stuff. A lot of the training consists of trying to keep the horse calm and stop it from getting over excited.

Look at their ears. An upset horse had its ears back.

I remember seeing war horse in the cinema and my soon to become partner ruined the emotional scenes for me "that horse is having the time of its life rolling in that mud in the fake barbed wire" and now I notice it in everything.
