I don’t own the radio, but there is one in my house. It’s located in the kitchen. Always set on BBC Radio 6 (a compromise between all the flatmates). People listen to it when they are cooking. Isn’t radio just great? You can do pretty much most house chores while listening to it. It’s a pleasant escape from the obscurity of cleaning and cooking.

I have to turn it off sometimes as radio news create anxiety.

I think the role of the radio has changed dramatically over the last 30 years. As a child I remember the times when it was a very important medium. Not many people had television. All the announcements were broadcasted on the radio, many important moments in history are remembered by people because of the radio.

The radio I remember was full of theatre, actors would read books in number of auditions for adults and kids.

Car radio was an invention that brought me a lot of joy. A possibility of a soundscape created during a 2-hour car journey just made everything easier. The antena often didn’t work and one had to look for the correct frequency, but it was nothing compared to the company of a radio. All the driver essentials warm voice talking about a new jazz record, weather and traffic announcements and music.
