When do you listen to the radio and what do you listen to?

Milton Babbitt Milton Babbitt
“…in all the many years of listening to…public stations, I have not heard a note of the most influential music of the 20th century…”
Andrew Litton Andrew Litton
“Sometimes I awaken to my own voice when WRR plays one of our ads, which is extremely frightening.”
Steve Metcalf Steve Metcalf
“As a child of the ’50s, I have a romantic attachment to radio, or at least the idea of radio.”
Joan Tower Joan Tower
“Frankly, I only listen to the radio in the car and then I’m listening primarily to the local NPR stations.”
