As a dedicated NPR listener (I can't really manage to get any other channel on my shower radio), I appreciate that the station balances hard and sometimes depressing news coverage with lighter pieces on pop culture. But the more vocal listeners of public radio hate it, leaving some to wonder if they're just a bunch of complaining snobs. In a piece for Slate, noninsufferable NPR listener Farhad Read more
This past weekend, right around the same time that Hungry Girl debuted on the Cooking Channel, the popular show America's Test Kitchen had a little premiere of its own — over the airwaves, that is. According to its creators, America's Test Kitchen Radio "applies the no-nonsense, first-hand testing approach of our TV show to the wide world of food, dining, and cooking — with your voices thrown Read more
If you recall, I'm a big fan of the Seattle-based KEXP radio station (you know, the one with DJs who actually pick their own playlists), and you can often find me at my desk with my headphones on, rocking out. Although I can sometimes catch KEXP on Ootunes (which in itself is a great app but a big battery drainer), I was ever so happy when I discovered that KEXP has its very own iPhone app now! Read more
The Pure Sensia radio offers a touchscreen, social networking apps, WiFi, an on-screen keyboard, and it will cost around $406 — Slashgear Griffin's new kid-friendly headphones include volume-limiting settings to protect them from hearing loss — Popgadget President Barack Obama is worried about people getting their information from blogs and not newspapers — The Silicon Alley Insider Check Read more
Alternative, hip-hop, country, rock, and now: lap dance. A radio station in Denver recently underwent a format change to become 101.5 The Pole, devoted to "classic nonstop stripper hits" from the '80s and beyond. Though it may just be a temporary stunt while the station transitions to an actual new format, The Pole is indeed spinning strip-centric hits until further notice. Do you think it's Read more
As a kid, I used to tune into Casey Kasem's weekly Top 40 radio show every single week, always so anxious to find out what the No. 1 song was that week. It all seems quaint now, sitting excitedly by a radio as a kid, so maybe that's why I felt a little pang of nostalgia-fueled sadness when I learned that Casey Kasem has "officially said goodbye" completely to his radio show. The man's friendly Read more
Although I don't listen to the radio much, I like to keep up on what the kids are listening to these days. After finding a ton of radio tuners in the App Store, I finally settled on one of these six tuners to install on my iPhone so I can rock out to the top 40 (or listen to some good talk radio) wherever I happen to be. Check out my faves in this slideshow. Read more
Celebrity chefdom sure is far-reaching. Rachael Ray does daytime TV, Paula Deen dips candles, and now Bobby Flay is hosting a radio show. Bobby Flay Radio debuts today on Sirius Satellite Radio. On the talk show, the chef will offer advice to men on dating and dressing, talk sports, and discuss current affairs. Oh, and talk about food. Explained the show's host: Food transcends so much now. It's Read more
Not only am I obsessed with online music sites like Pandora, but I also like to stream my favorite radio stations from various parts of the country. I feel like it gives me a real insight about what new music is out there. My computer is totally convenient, since I can do both from anywhere, but I think the NetWorks Radio is a very cool alternative . . . if you have a "few" extra hundred dollars Read more
I have a lot of friends who are distraught about the news that Pandora may be going under due to overwhelming royalty fees. The popular Internet radio service doesn't just stream music online, but becomes attuned to your listening habits and creates customized stations for you. I love Pandora for an alternative to my own music library, so I'd be disappointed to see it disappear however many Read more
