Re: [MBZ] Radio vs TV

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Rarely watch TV, as I consider it a vast wasteland of dreck.  If I have time 
that is idle, I usually read a book.

Speaking of reading, there was a really good story that was linked to from that 
aviation web site about crashes. It's a bit long, but I found it pretty 
engaging. The Unser brothers were even involved in the rescue:

Re: [MBZ] Radio vs TV

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

Oh and look, I just got this email from Amazon:


 Introducing: Alexa on mobile

As a Prime member, you have free access to over 2 million songs and 
thousands of expert-curated stations and playlists with Prime Music.


Alexa is now available in the Amazon Music App. Simply use the 
push-to-talk function within the app to access Alexa’s voice controls. 
No searching or browsing required – just ask.


So you can just ask Alexa to play stuff for you, or download stuff too I 
guess.  Down side is Amazon will be listening to everything you say, so 
there's that...

My daughter unit got me listening to podcasts, there is an infinite 
variety of stuff out there for free, including back programs of radio 
shows.  Some have a bit of commercial sponsorship but it is not really 
intrusive.  I recently listened to Crime Town about Providence RI, 
which was excellent as I recall Buddy Cianci and his shenanigans, and 
S-Town about this small town in Alabama, which is excellent but might 
not be to all tastes.  Or local paper has a weekly podcast about the 
restaurant scene in town, I downloaded a whole bunch of them and 
listened to them all on my road trip in August.

With Amazon Prime you can download music onto your device and listen to 
it offline (and movies too) and it is just sorta "borrowed" I guess.

Our pickup has satellite radio, I especially like the old timey radio shows. 
Sadly that channel has an especially large amount of advertising...
