Living in Los Angeles, I do a lot of driving. I spend 30 minutes in the car on the way to work, 45 minutes on the way home. If I leave the office for lunch, it takes about 15 minutes of driving to and fro.
As I was listening to BuzzOutLoud (a podcast Toby turned me onto), they were talking about how much “real radio” you listen to on a daily basis.
Most of the time, I listen to my iPod. In the car, on the subway, at the office, etc. The only time I hear real FM is when someone is in the car with me or I forget my iPod, or I am driving to McDonalds and it’s such a short trip…
I didn’t really realize how little I listen to FM or AM radio until this morning.
So here are a few questions I ask the loyal reader(s) of NIMH:
1) Do you have an iPod or DMP (digital music player)?
2) Do you use it in your car on a daily basis?
3) If you answered YES for question 2, how often do you listen to the radio?
4) Do you enjoy your local radio stations?
5) Why do you feel the need to answer questions from some dudes blog?
One thing I just realized; if I forget my iPod, I usually listen to NPR via KCRW. It makes me feel smart.
1) yes
2) no
3) N/A
4) yes. I listen to 97.1 until 3:00 and then swich ove to KCRW. If there are people in the car I listen to Jack.
5) he asked me to
1.Yes
2. Yes
3. Once awhile, I would like to find out what’s new and hip. Also sometime loveline when I am driving late.
4. Yes. I like KEarth 101. That station is good. I can’t similar station in San Jose. The other pop station is good too.
5. Cause I am bored and a dumb ass.
*Does your boss miss Sam know you go to McDonald’s? If yes, does she give you the Stare?
My boss may be unaware of the trips to McDonalds…they are a treat saved for when she is not cooking dinner.
Hey Toby (and other runners/workout lovers), I found this guy who creates mixes for workouts and long runs. http://www.djsteveboy.com/mixes.html
1)Yes.
2)Yes; but on a semi-regular basis.
3)Everyday. I have an IPod mini, so listening to the same 600 songs (even though I rotate some of them every now and then), gets old. Besides, how else would I find out about new music (I don’t listen to podcasts yet).
4)Absolutely. Indie 103, Jack, and occasionally KROQ.
5)I’m bored at work.
