Why would anyone need some kind of working radio
to tune in all those stations (radios themselves) that won't be working?
Sort of a paradox, eh?
...or is it only receivers that will mysteriously stop working?

If enough of me survives any 'great collapse'
to be able to listen to something, I bet my radios will too.

Sort of like a Farmer in the 1920s who bought a
"Farm Radio"; and when his Son asked him 'why'
the Farmer replied 'why' Son some day we will
have elect-tric-city just like your Uncle in the City.

Actually so-called "Farm Radios" were usually
powered by Batteries and some/many Farms
had their own Electrical Generating Systems.
