The weak clock radio in my office only picks up a couple of channels so I'm stuck listening to polka music. Is it just me, or does every song sound the same? Well at least Heidi doesn't seem to mind it. She is tapping her paw on the floor.🐕☝

As a kid, the sound of polkas radiating from our house terrified me. There was a local polka **bleep** and he would crank up the volume to the max. There was also a Saturday morning radio show that played polka requests. My dad would call in and request songs for his two sisters that lived in town and the sisters would reciprocate and call in requests for him. The radio also was cranked to the max. My dad died 10 years ago and since that time I gained a new respect for that music. It brings a smile to my face thinking about those early polka days. So enjoy the music!

So you can't say "b a n d" here without being censored. What a Mickey Mouse operation.

@IRonMaN why are they even worried about that? Maybe they should pay more attention to service and product.

Are you sure Heidi isn't tapping out SOS hoping a canine friend will come rescue her from that awful music...........lol

@dkh she could be. I keep the office door open and she sits right in front of the storm door where she can look outside. Every person that comes by, especially with a dog, she will bark. Then she comes over to my desk for a treat so I have to give her some.

"The weak clock radio in my office only picks up a couple of channels"

But the computer is connected to the internet, which contains multitudes. Have you ever used any of the radio apps to pick up any station that feeds, from nearly anywhere on the planet? I've been using internet "radios" for over 20 years.

This one:

Online Radio Navigator Pro Link

has a geolocator option. For example, Bomba FM or Bombay Beats India? Really fun.
