Google assistant makes it easy to listen to all music.podcasts.navigate.weather.current elevation. Etc hands free.
My go to is "navigate to the nearest.." truck stop or rest area. Works like a charm. The ai and voice recog are amazi g these days and its free.rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
I mostly stream from Pandora. At night I listen to a lot of trip-hop or down tempo House. The Zero7 channel. Stuff like Zero7, Morcheeba, thievery Corp, Groove Armada. During the day I listen to the Jose Gonzalez Channel, a punk rock Channel, big pimpin’ Channel.
Podcasts I seem to listen to Joe Rogan and Hardcore history plus other left leaning stations.
When tired I listen to Fox News for about 5 minutes. I find that their particular brand of entertainment makes me angry enough to keep me awake in abject horror for about 2 hours. -
Thanks for the endorsement. How can I listen to Fox News? They bring me comfort. Secure in knowing I’m listening to news. Not fairytale propaganda. From those who unwittingly try to destroy what enables us to whine.swervyjoe, Rocks and otterinthewater Thank this.

Touché.
When I want actual news I go to twitter and just search till I get my confirmation bias reinforced.
I don’t believe any of the channels. They’re all a bunch of liars pushing their own agenda.Rideandrepair, Lepton1 and WesternPlains Thank this. -
I'm getting pretty tired of music stations on Sirius XM always the same songs...

Besides.... I am not a real fan of American Rock...
Have been thinking about Spotify.. gotta do some research... I want music from my original country Brasil and also electronic and deep house music from Europe.. the ones I hear on radio really suck....
Nowadays I have been listening to video music while on the road...
Just need to find a way to connect the tablet with the truck radio so I can listen to the music thru truck speakers...
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
In some way I can relate with you...Lepton1 Thanks this.

Lately I’ve been listening to the sobs of the female hitchhiker I picked up. She cries every time I tell her “it puts the lotion on it’s skin, and it checks that the jaws are shut on the 5th wheel.”
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
And Yeah!! I found the Bluetooth adapter that someone mentioned in another thread... Bought this one...
And now I can fully enjoy the music I want... from Brasil, and shows, and more... and don't have to pay any extra..
The sound is good and clear... and much better than the tablet or the laptop...
Songs that I would not enjoy when hearing on the tablet, sound totally "transformed" thru the truck speakers cause I can hear all the instruments and they sound really great!!
I would generally not enjoy these kind of regional Brazilian country music but when I heard them on the truck speakers it was like WOW!!
Looks like I will quit that boring Satellite radio for a while....
