Most NPR programs can be podcasted, if you can tolerate the delay. Wait, Wait Don't Tell me is one of my staples. Sometimes I listen to Radiolab. And it's hard to beat Marc Maron for interviews (if you like his comedian/film/music interviewees, and his nsfw language)
I'm not listening to the radio because I can't solve the intense static problem I have. I would be listening to CBC Radio One if I could.
But when it becomes rude for others on the MUP to hear, consider all the trouble we already have with walkers not being able to interpret your "OnYourLeft" or your bell. If someone is approaching a pedestrian from behind with a loud radio or music, he or she is going to turn around to look. If he or she has earbuds on it wouldn't make anymore of a difference. It would seem a lot more friendly than yelling.
