Compared to that. Or listening to any Youtube or podcast instead of listening to the radio station hosts prattle on instead of playing the next track.
Nostalgia for radio is like nostalgia for the winter I worked at a cozy cafe at age 17: I have some good memories and every once in a while when I'm stressed at work I yearn for those simpler times... but there's a reason why I will never go back. No need to glorify it just because of some fading attachment to the yesteryears.

- lxgr 2y agoOf course you're free to listen to whatever you want, but I'm still happy to tune in to my old home town/country radio station every once in a while (when visiting or via streaming), and I still find their programming quite enjoyable. So it's not abstract nostalgia to me.
