I listen to Kidd Kraddick in the morning because I hate myself.
I listen to Russ Martin in the afternoon so I can hear him make fun of Kraddick.
Russ is hilarious, and their commercials are very evenly timed out. 20+ minutes of talk for 7-10 minutes of commercials consecutively makes it easy to switch to a cd or other stations while they're on commercial.

the only reason i listen to the radio (terrestrial radio) at all was for the morning show here on our rock station. i listen on the ride to work and over the internet at work. now they were fired on Friday for something that happened back in March. they were fired for a song sang by a guest...hilarious btw...but it was considered racist so they canned them two months later.
anyway, now i'm listening and it's nothing but shitty music and commercials. how do people listen to this crap?! i definitely am going to buy an iPod so i can listen to that all day. is satellite really worth it? or is it just 99% shit also? i really don't want another monthly payment either...for radio nontheless.

I have Sirius and enjoy it when I do listen to the radio. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up on there a la Stern.

sometimes i listen to carolla, whenever its music its either the same crap i heard when i was in high school or something equally crappy. i have too much of my own music that i like too much to waste my time with a radio station.

Never FM. Never. I won't buy CDs either. i-pod is only for walking or working out. In the car, at home or at work it's Sirius.
I split a Sirius subscription w/ my brothers and my wife, 4 radios total.

They also annoy me because they insist on pronouncing Sirius as 'serious'. But that's just me.
Its not Sirrus. It is Sirius
Do you pronouce it : sir-ree-us or see-ree-us??

NPR and AM news in the car. I have maybe a 15-30 minute commute (really depends on when I catch the lights).
For music at work, I listen to either Pandora, or KEXP.org
On the weekends, I listen to college radio, and the local jazz and classical stations (although our classical station sucks).

I listen to local sports talk most of the day. Its mindless, but I just want background noise.
