I think the main advantage of radio for music is human curation. Spotify is still far from being able to give me a high quality playlist of music I'm likely to enjoy but would be unlikely to find on my own. However, podcasts and DJ mixes mostly fill this role for me. Internet radio still exists (KEXP is great) but I don't find myself using it much anymore.
For the live element, it seems like Twitch streaming still has a lot of potential if they can figure out the copyright issues.
For conversations and news, I think a well edited long-form podcast is superior to radio in every way.
