I often play Radio 3 on the 'puter for my pupils when I teach: it helps them think. Currently I am listening to the Lauren Laverne programme on Radio 6. She is playing a track from the new Jimi Hendrix album now!
I support my local classical music station here in the US, but unless it is Saturday morning and the Metropolitan Opera broadcast is on I only listen while driving.
I don't listen to CDs much now because both CD changers are broken: one in the Ford and the other in the house. We must save up for new devices...

I wake up to BBC radio 3 (classical) in the morning and the the kitchen radio turns on to BBC radio 4 (spoken word) for the news at 5pm. I also listen to lots of BBC comedy, either on radio 4 or on iPlayer. I seldom listen to anything else on the radio unless I'm in the car and my other half has BBC radio 1 on (popular music, mostly chart). I'll rarely put a CD on, which could be anything from classical to gospel to 1980/90s pop!

4 extra has many good programmes: I like Cabin Pressure because I remember Stephanie Cole from Waiting for God but am not fond of Ambridge Extra: I hate the Horrobins and wish those who retained that surname could be written out of The Archers.
Sticking with R6 while I finish plotting the chapters in my novel...

I love Cabin Pressure, it is one of my favourites. But I like all sorts of things, even old comedies like 'I'm sorry I'll read that again', which is sheer nonsense. I'm at home all day so I like to listen to them while I work.

Watching Spurs TV highlights from the last match: my best friend at schools where I teach is a rabid Arseholes fan and he wants Arsene Wenger to retire soonish! AVB, on the other hand, seems to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Tuning in to Radio 3 to hear the British Broadcasting Corporation Symphony Orchestra playing beneath Totttenham on TV. When the match highlights are over, I shall brew coffee, wake my wife with a cup of it and go back to writing my novel!

Well, I went back to what I was listening to before the drought: Missy Higgins' album The Ol' Razzle Dazzle which I got for Christmas.
I enjoyed it even more after the hiatus. Some fantastic melodies.

While I'm typing this, I'm listening to Choral Evensong on i-player - well there's a surprise! This week, it's an old recording from 1990 of Bramdean School, Exeter. I think an old pupil of mine is singing on it. Their voices are very fine.

Here at school, I am listening to Radio 4 until the afternoon kindergarteners come in 15 minutes from now. Then when I am teaching, it will be back on Radio 3 because I believe classical music helps them think better: it worked this morning!

Depends what time of day it is.
Radio 4 to wake up to, with the shipping forecast, the news headlines then "Farming Today", which is much more interesting than you think.
Classic FM for some light relief on the journey to work when the doom, gloom and economy get too much.
Radio Oxford on the way home, to catch up on the local news and travel situation, then switch back to Radio 4 for the excellent PM programme.
Sometimes a foreign-language radio station if I'm trying to improve aural comprehension.
The World Service in the small hours. Unfortunately, "From Our Own Correspondent" is often so interesting that it's impossible to get back to sleep. Also the news is broader in scope, less UK-centric, and you often hear about things on that which never make the mainstream news.

Bach B minor Mass. Constantly. It is what I am singing in the next concert in April. I find myself bobbing my head in very slight rhythm sometimes and wonder why, and then realize what is in the background of my consciousness.

I have two public jazz stations that get most of my attention. The local station at home and in the car, and WWOZ out of New Orleans on iTunes at work.
Both stations have pretty eclectic schedules. Friday nights on the local station, we have an elderly black woman who plays blues and talks NASCAR, with the help of an in-studio assistant (she used to be on her own, but it lead to quite a bit of dead air). Saturday nights feature a fantastic classic R&B show, and Sunday afternoon features salsa, Brazilian, and something called "Origins: Orgy of Rhythm," which plays music from what the DJ calls the African Diaspora- jazz, blues, African, reggae, R&B, basically everything that I love.

As of this moment: what we call 'The Oldies' Request Programme' on the radio when there's bugger all to watch on TV on a Saturday evening. A most eclectic mix, from classics to pop favourites of the fifties and sixties, some of them stuff that my mother taught me from even further back.

Right now: Anneka Rice on Radio 2.
In twelve hours and change, we shall be listening to live opera. The local opera company, one of my employers, is presenting Tosca at Symphony Hall. I got cut-rate tickets to it and they seem to be reasonably good seats. I shan't forget my opera glasses: they are on a string on the front door!
(Bloody 'ell - I knew where they were last weekend!)

My current can't-live-without is Mahler's Resurrection. It's kind of long, and sacrilege not to listen to it all in one go, so I have to have an hour and a half going begging. But when I do... I just listened to it again, and have now been translated to some kind of alternate dimension. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Oh my goodness! Right now I'm listening to the last movement of his 3rd symphony. (Only the last movement, cos I haven't got all night.) I'm reviewing my sermon for tomorrow, and I thought it fitted the mood.

May I recommend CBC Radio 1 - Vinyl Tap hosted by Randy Bachman*.
Also Misterium, and online radio station from Barcelona. Fusion classical progressive wonderfulness. The station's tag line is "God IS my DJ", and its Facebook page claims Peter Gabriel and the Dalai Lama as fans. If the Lama loves it, you know it's good.
* Randy is a Winnipeg boy who now lives on Saltspring Island. If you don't recall his name, he was part of the Guess Who (everyone knows "American Woman") and BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive.

We don't get that, but I was listening to the Metropolitan Opera while driving to a restaurant for lunch yesterday. I called my lovely bride to find out what in the world it was after I missed the interval, but she had been out getting her nails done.
Currently playing this morning's broadcast of Radio 4extra's Doctor at Large from the mid-sixties. Ermmmm, in just a few years I shall be in my mid -sixties!

I am listening to "Three Women in a Motorhome" on Radio 4extra, Sue Teddern's 21st century take on one of the funniest books ever written, Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat, originally published in the late 19th century. I have a first edition and I re-read it at least twice a decade!

One of my favourite websites: ***n Culture posted a link to all of Johann Sebastian Bach's organ pieces to download for free. They were recorded by Dr. James Kibbie (University of Michigan) on baroque organs in Leipzig, Germany.
So I downloaded the lot and threw it on my iPod. The sound quality and interpretation are top notch. It's been a wonderful backdrop to my subway commutes.
