    I am a special snowflake.

    I frequently have to be on conference calls, so a lot of the time I am listening to people drone on about their problems.  When that isn't happening, I plug in my phone and listen to my ipod on shuffle, or sometimes I listen to local public radio.

    I sing if I'm awake, but if it's before like 9 I'm not awake enough. Then I just listen to the music.

    I ride the train. I used to listen to a local morning show via their app, but it staryed running horrendously, amd the podcasts always crap out an hour in, so I gave up. If I want to liaten to something on the way home, I play Pandora. I always have my Kindle out reading to and from though.

    90s on 9 is the best.  Although I enjoy the new-ish Pop2k as well.  It reminds me of my college days.

    I listen to sports talk. I used to be ashamed but now there's no shame in my game. I find it interesting.

    Oh my. I love 90s on 9 so much! The Pop2k brings me back to college, too. Those are the best in the mornings! I also like the new stations between Pop2k and The Pulse that are from LA and NYC. I've heard "Ghetto Superstar" on the LA station more than once. It can never be a bad day when you start with "Ghetto Superstar."

    I split between NPR and a local hits station (when they play music that doesn't make me want to crash my car).  Sometimes if there's nothing good on I'll listen to Classical.
