Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If I don't have the ability to listen to adless streaming from my phone, I'd sooner rather listen to road noise than the trash on the radio or sit in silence if not driving. A couple of songs and then 10 minutes of the same ads is more than enough reason to never turn that shit on.
Agreed, the relentless ads are intolerable (probably due to fewer listeners, which leads to a death spiral, much like antenna TV). I haven't heard anyone recommend radio since before the iPod. I'd prefer nature/noise as well.
Ads on the radio?? I meant like public broadcasting
Yea, ads, like commercials. There are more of them and shitty radio DJs talking than actual music being played. If someone were to listen to an AM talk radio station, then there's generally less commercials in my experience, but it's low quality, and just a talk radio show.
Well I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I've been spoiled.
You are spoiled by that imaginary radio that has all the music and magically no ads lol.
Not to mention radio only has like twenty songs on rotation.
You don't have to listen to it all day. I like checking in in before and after work.
But if all the stations in your area have ads, then ofc nah, don't listen to that garbage.
