While driving to and from work every day I listen mostly to either of two local public radio stations, WHYY or WRDV, or to one of my two favorite local college stations, either Univ. of PA's WXPN or Temple Univ.'s WRTI. These are all a mix of music, interviews, news, special interest stories. I'd say mostly I'm listening to music. I give a donation to all of these stations and have for many years, since they really need listener support to keep going ...so I also have way too many monogrammed coffee mugs and umbrellas.
WHYY runs many of the syndicated NPR shows mentioned above along with local interest shows. WRDV (Radio Delaware Valley) is a small, relatively low broadcasting power, local radio station that plays old standards of the 20's & 30's, the Jazz Age, the Big Band era, and the early days of Blues, Rock & Roll, and Country, along with a lot of local interest news. WXPN has a fantastic mix of all sorts of music so XPN is my single favorite radio station. WRTI is about the best jazz radio station anywhere and also they also play "classical music" part of the day but I only listen to their jazz programs.
Once in a blue moon if I'm in a mood for something specific I'll connect my itouch to my stereo and listen to my own stuff or pop in a music CD.
