Earth sounds are more educational and informative that NPR and local

While I enjoy classical music (orchestral -- nothing involving warbling
falsetto vocals), I don't think I could listen to it all the time.
As far as commercial radio is concerned, there's very rarely anything of any
quality any more, which is the point I was trying to make in my first post.
Even local news is a joke, if it exists, unless you're in a top 25 market.
My first gig in radio was news. It was going downhill then.

You are certainly entertained in unusual ways...


Those are my thoughts every time I see a TV spot for a local radio station
and hear the listener testimonials "I love W***!, I listen all day...."
