Very rarely do I listen to actual radio. I grew up on AM radio but since the early 2000s I've been a podcast listener. The sheer number of commercials coupled with the very low intellectual level of the content are primary reason I do not listen to radio.
Every so often I will turn on the radio when in the car just to hear what they are saying. Mostly curiosity. In my area I've found that the quality of radio people has drastically decreased. Not only are they on a lower intellectual level, their skill as speakers are inferior to what I grew up with. Radio is dying. AM radio is really dying. It will take a while like it has with news papers but it is happening.
Now, if we are talking about amateur radio, that's a different story.
