I use to have a Gromit Shower radio for listening to podcasts in the shower via a FM Transmitter. Now I have a speaker extended into the on-suite bathroom from my computer.
But back to choice on shower radio, I wouldn't bother with the Mpeg3 part as I've always found them frustrating and it cuts down your choice by a lot. Get a decent Shower radio and setup the FM Transmitter on the sly for her. Nothing says I love you like a guy willing to install a FM transmitter for his love one. ;) Ian Forrester This e-mail is: [] private; [] ask first; [x] bloggable Senior Producer, BBC Backstage Room 1044, BBC Manchester BH, Oxford Road, M60 1SJ email: ian.forres...@bbc.co.uk work: +44 (0)1612444063 mob: +44 (0)7711913293 -----Original Message----- From: owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk [mailto:owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk] On Behalf Of Alan Pope Sent: 22 April 2009 12:11 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] Shower Radios 2009/4/22 Zen <zen16...@zen.co.uk>: > What is the need for a radio "in" the shower anyway?

A quick wind of the handle (45.5 turns) before leaping in the shower would result in enough loud music for 20 mins or so. Longer with lower volume. Amusingly we'd tend to let the winder expire rather than turn the radio off. Frequently we'd be sat downstairs later in the day and have the bejeezus scared out of us by voices from upstairs. Caused by the sun blazing through the window, waking the radio up via the gift of solar power. Fun fun. Cheers, Al. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
