Anyone listen to a simple radio while touring?

Anyone recommend a simple radio for bike touring? Something lightweight but still having enough volume to hear over my wheels rolling and the wind?

Let’s get 2 things out of the way:
1) NOT an mp3 or streaming device that requires Digital files, cellular or internet.
2) No going on about safety (Ability to hear danger) or Peaceful silence. I know.

When I was a kid I used to listen to a Walkman radio while biking. Now much older As I get into longer riding and touring, I appreciate the simplicity of simple radio that is low power and low tech, Saving my phones battery for emergencies and needed communication or navigation. Bonus, radio gives me local news and weather where I’m riding.

Thanks in advance.
