Seriously, KGO even has podcasts of most shows, as well as the stream.


Going from a shirt-pocket radio to a PC connected to two grids is
easier how?



You do what I do. Stream it then housecast it via one of the many
available home AM or FM transmitters. Then you can use your
shirt-pocket radio anywhere on your property.

95% of my radio listening is done this way now. I get the content *I*
choose from anywhere in the world, anywhere in my house. I'm no
longer limited to local stations, but still have the convenience of a
portable radio.

Best of both worlds.


That's even more convoluted. If i want to listen to KGO, anywhere west
of Phoenix, I wait 'til the sun goes down and tune any radio to 810 KHz.

I stream Nova M from Phoenix, and broadcast that, and KPFT on the
weekends, and Drone Zone all night long. I have a Drake SW2 by my head
when I sleep, usually on KGO or KKOH (which has been degraded by an
oldies station from Sedona).
