    Hi all,

    I mostly listen to podcasts. Dan Carlins Hardcore History is great. If you like history your in luck as he has 100's hours of epic tales. Cheers

    I listen to you tube music downloads. With a $9.99 per month subscription, I love it. I don't have to listen to the same 40 songs looped all day like sirrius or terrestrial radio. Currently I have @350 songs downloaded. It gives me the ability to listen to what I want to without killing my data plan on my phone. I'm beyond sick of politics (talk radio) it's nothing but mental masturbation so I don't listen to it.

    Politics have gotten almost as bad on Cspan here at home. It's real difficult to watch senators, a few in specifically that I knew first hand from long ago hang themselves in committee trying to introduce a VAT to the USA on top of our sales tax. It would have been 20% taxation on everything from toothpaste on up. But it failed in committtee two days ago with the tax reform bill.

    Im not here to talk politics much, but again the media that I have here has me searching online for potential replacements to that stupid satellite. I would be more than glad to pay 10 dollars for a subsitute...

    I do a lot of true crime podcasts. My favorites are "generation why" and "true crime garage". Nothing better than a good mystery while rolling through the night. My favorite episode of "generation why" is the 2 part "night stalker" one. Not to be confused with the "original night stalker" episode which is a whole nother case... still good but not even top ten for me. Be warned though, these things can get gory... I just like listening to how the detectives catch the d-bags.

    A lot of my purchased digital music from Amazon and google is missing. Now I have to go through the receipts and shove my head up someones butt to get things straight...

    All of the above. Sometimes I just drive without the radio and think about patent stuff, or the next bit of writing I plan on doing.

    Early on in my career it was mostly either my CB or nothing. Later on a lot of talk radio or music.
