Post subject:  How do you listen to sports talk?

I see a lot of people saying they switch from music to sports talk and vice-versa. Is it usually in the car? At your office? On the radio or on the stream?

I used to have a job where I drove 50% of the day (and lived in Chicago), so it was convenient. I mostly listen to the stream now on days when I can multi-task. I miss being able to just flip it on.

It's smart-ass posts, or posts about ornate antique desks ... your choice, chief.

Stream.

If I'm in the car, I'm usually listening to podcasts unless LoHo is on.

I stream it at work and listen in the vehicle when I go home for lunch to let my dog out. My commute is
less than 10 minutes so sometimes I just get commercials. When I have had enough I will listen to either
Pandora or pick something on YouTube. I am almost always wearing headphones in the office to drown
out all the other bullshit around me.

TuneIn stream with Spotify in the background.

Find myself going to Spotify more frequently though.

Car is mostly podcasts through stitcher, fratmusic app or pandora.

Wow... I expected bigoted posts about native Americans from re*skingreg, but this place is really getting bad lately.

purely podcasts, mostly just the segments with guests.

Stream. Speaking of tune in... anyone else have problems with it dropping out for a time for no reason? Even with strong signal it seems like a data interruption.

It happens to me a lot, but Kirkwood had a link the other day that was supposed to be better than the CBS stream.

The CBS stream is awful. I was listening last week, and commercials came on a few times during the broadcast.

Tunein app at work (when it's not down) and radio on the drive to and from work. The only time i listen at home is on weekends.

I listen on Radio.com app on my iPhone. I had some troubles with it a few months ago but it has been working
pretty well of late.

Agreed... it has been better lately. Then again, I have a Samsung like a civilized person.

Thanks T-bone my late issues have been Tune In. I NEVER use CBS stream.

I spend a good amount off time in my car & I channel hop between the 3 sports radio stations. When I am in my home office during the day I listen on my old RCA stereo...at night I'll either stream CBS or Fox sports radio or listen to other sports radio podcasts.

Car during commute and radio when infrequently jogging. I almost never listen otherwise. I used to listen to hours each day. I'd be surprised if I averaged half an hour these days

Nowadays I stream. Out of range of radio waves now. But back when I lived in IL, had a radio on my desk 8x5

Spotify and TuneIn. I guess I flick on the dial if I'm in Seattle (KEXP). Portland radio is baaaaaaaaaaad.

All sports talk radio is bad. Why do you think Terry Boers is still employed?

I can understand the unwillingness to miss every valuable moment of his amazing shows.
