Default What is worth listening on scanners?

Unforunately I've not gotten much out of those. I have the campus
police tuned in for a few local universities, but nothing of note there
usually. The DNR usually has to the janitor more than officers in the
field.

But CB radio can be really interesting. One night, when I was having
insomnia, I heard some trucker go off on a used car dealership
somewhere in Ontario. His rant literally went on 10 or 15 minutes.

Another thing I like to listen to, from time to time, is aviation
stuff. Not a whole lot of variety, so I only listen in short bursts,
but it's usually pretty consistent as far as traffic goes.
