Shortwave vs satellite radio?

I never thought id consider paying for radio.... but
lately I've been giving thought to getting rid of TV
completely and canceling cable bill.
Id replace it with satellite radio IF the following:
1. I can buy a device that acts as a portable receiver
and portable DVR to allow me to time shift. And I can
take this device ANYWHERE in the US and keep on my
person if wanted
2. The programming had a LOT of talk shows and audio
stories and documentaries. Old time radio, etc
Can someone one advise if this possible?
There's another way of doing it, with an mp3 player and podcasts, such
as the BBC's podcast service. The range of programmes is much wider if
you're prepared to go to the extra bother of converting streaming
audio to mp3. Many stations these days can be listened to via the web.
