    I mostly listen to tunes. when I am really intensly working I can't stand anything that doesn't have a beat to it. it has to set a pace and I don't have to understand what they are saying. If I am just goofing off or cleaning up I like talk radio, some NPR stuff.
    all of it comes from sirius sattellite radio. our local stations here are so terrible I'm willing to give up tool money to pay for radio service!

      Same here. Sirius Howard 100/101. Sometimes I'll check out Jam On on Sirius in hopes of catching some good Phish or Dead.

        Usually, NPR (National Public Radio), except Sat. afternoons when they have opera on!

          I keep the muffs on all the time when I have a machine running. I work in a loud environment and wear hearing protection all the time there and now it's got to where I really can't stand things too loud.

            I usually always have the radio on either to country, talk, or rock. But when the machines turn on the ear muffs come on so the radio gets drowned out.

            I keep the radio on all the time I'm out in the shop, so I have something in the background making noise...

                Depending on what I'm doing its tunes,podcasts,or TV on a old monitor that I have hooked up to a external cable TV box.

                    Same here. Hard to hear the radio, but now that I finally broke down and bought some WorkTunes, no problem.

                      AM740, Ontario, Canada. "oldies". Could be anything from the big bands aera, Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy williams, etc. to Michaelo Buble, Dianne Krall,etc..Real music

                        I Picked News radio, but its really NPR PHC on Saturdays and Car talk and Wait Wait. My wife doesnt 'get' PHC so its my block of time from 5-7 to get somethings done in the shop and maybe the repeats on Sunday as well. Unfortunatly The housrs befroe PHC are opera which doesnt work well as background tunes , sounds too much like someone got their tie caught in the woodlathe.

                          What could be better than Car Talk and woodworking at the same time?

                          I looked at the Worktunes that I could plug my iPod into but discovered that I could use the tiny iPod headphones under my old Smith and Wesson headphone.

                            Tom Leykis in the afternoons

                            I don't know how many of you have ever heard of Tom Leykis, but he cracks me up. On Saturdays and Sundays the Radio is on AM 640 KFI Los Angles. I listen to Leo Laporte The Tech Guy and after him is Dr. Dean Edel. Then I think it is the John and Ken show on Saturdays, Capt. Dale Dye on Sundays.
