I like to listen to the radio while working, whether music or news/commentary. However the stations in my area mostly suck. A handful of music stations play decent songs, but it's always the same handful of classics and gets old very fast if you listen to it every day. NPR has a pretty good format (mix of news, talk shows and new/less known music) but of course its liberal bias is so bad it's unlistenable. On conservative radio at least you don't get men trying to sound like women, but the left pandering is replaced by extreme neocon pandering (90% of it is either "Israel is greatest ally" or "democrats are the real racists"). Plus the majority of stations, regardless of genre, have obscene amounts of ads. Unironically the best stations I've found have been Christian radio and classical music (incidentally both have minimal ads). The former depends a bit on catching a good preacher, but usually it's pretty interesting. Classical is good especially if I'm trying to focus, but if I'm doing something boring I get bored of the music as well. I've had some success with music services like Pandora and Spotify. But their algorithms are very hit and miss. Youtube suggestions are even worse. Seems like a lot of people like podcasts and audiobooks. But where do you go to find good ones? I only seem to find very good ones which require my full attention (so not good for working) or very bad ones that I can't stand.
