My family knows that I LIVE outside in the back yard, since we moved to 5 acres almost a decade ago. I have a boom box in the garage, a radio in the tool shed, and a radio/charger in the loft of my barn. I cannot work without my radio(s) but it's not really safe to have earphones one when you're handling horses, so I don't do that.
I listen to a lot of classical music--I was a music major, you see, so I'm interested in music trivia. I also listen to "A Prairie Home Companion" as long as Keiler doesn't go political on me. When I does I change channels. When he lets his cast write/run the show it's still pretty enjoyable, especially the sound guy. (There was a great skit on "Bridesmaid Insurance" a couple of years ago that had me howling!)
If I'm home during the week, I listen to Rush, Hannity, Beck, but whenever there's a baseball game our local stations cut their programming, so I have to go upstairs and change the channel. (If they were broadcasting football, I'd leave it on.

I really enjoy NPR when they broadcast their "off-hours stories" like Sunday evenings when most people
DON'T listen to them. I've heard stories about Alquada raping, maming and killing civilians (2003 story) and another great story that was a followup on victim/perpetrators of the mortgage crisis (Sunday, Sept. 27th, 2009.)
Got my CLOCK-radio set on 92.5, Light Rock, because that wakes me up. My daughters and I are musicians so we pretty much like EVERY kind of music--I just don't work well outside listening to rock.
