What do you usually listen to driving to and from work/school?

[knight_shadow]

Morning - I will listen to any one of the local morning shows (mostly Top 40 or Urban)

Afternoon / Lunch / Ride home - I'll listen to my iPod

My office is ~8 minutes from my house, though, so I don't get much radio time lol

But you get a lot of playtime at work, even when the bigwigs are there. lol! (I'm kidding)

I have no commute. I work from home.

Of course, the nice thing about working from a home office is that it's just me and my cat, so I can play whatever I want while I'm working - no need for headphones. So I usually run my favorite iTunes playlist, which includes a mix of Evanescence, Within Temptation, Linkin Park, and some other odds and ends.

Evanescence is one of my all time favorite bands. I was pretty upset when they "broke up" and Amy Lee did her own thing for a while. Now, apparently, they're back together. I love their new single!

She's in her mid-70s, but the voice thing you hear from her isn't age, it's spasmodic dysphonia, which she has had since 1998.

She really is fantastic, I think. Particularly impressive given that she didn't even go to college.

The majority of the time, I take public transportation, so I usually just listen to my personal music library on my iPhone or Pandora (usually my Beatles station).

On the rare occasions when I drive, I listen to local radio morning shows on the way in and news/sports radio on the way home (really, I only listen to the sports shows during the summer when it's all about the Sox).

My commute is only about 15 minutes long, so I just listen to whatever is in my iPod. I always try to make it something upbeat going into work, and something more low-key when leaving. Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" is the last song I listen to before getting out of my car in the morning. The last song usually changes every couple months.

Oh, and if I hit the timing just right, on my way home, I'll listen to 103.5 KTU New York's The War of the Roses. If you don't know what it is, look it up. Hilarious.

Local pop station in the morning, 700 WLW talk radio on the way home.

I don't drive, but I do run anywhere between 1-3 hours every day. I listen to a few favorite podcasts (This American Life, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, How to Do Everything, and Radiolab). I also have a subscription to Audible and get two credits a month to spend on audiobooks -- I just finished the A Song of Ice and Fire books and am starting work on the Stephen King Dark Tower series.

My commute is on public transportation and takes about 30 minutes, and I usually read my Kindle rather than wearing headphones. I work in a not-great area and two of my coworkers have been mugged for their iPhones while wearing headphones so far in 2012.

It really depends on my mood. Usually in the morning I listen to J Powers and the morning crew on 100.3 (Detroit station). On the way home, it's usually XM Radio: channels I tend to stop at are:
8: 80s on 8
9: 90s on 9
10: The Pulse
72: On Broadway
13: Some lite radio station out of NYC
16 (I think): The Blend
31: Coffee House - cool acoustic versions of lots of different music
And, I forget the new number for Alt Nation, used to be 47 but I think it's 36 now. It's all pre-programmed.

Or I plug my ipod into my car and listen to a playlist, which could be anything from "girl songs" which includes Pink, Lady Gaga, Lady Antebellum and Bruno Mars to "musicals" which has all my musicals on it, to 70s stuff like John Denver to 80s bands- Journey, Queen, REO, etc.

I have some 90s country music on my ipod also, like Garth Brooks and Reba.

It totally depends on what fits my mood that day. I don't listen to rap or r&b or new country much.. or bluegrass kind of country. Sometimes I'll go to a jazz or classical station, sometimes comedy, sometimes news.

Press the search button, and when it lands on something worthwhile I hit the keep button (prevents the distracted driving of constant button-punching for good music/info).

When I'm not listening to my iPod, I also enjoy BBC World, Conservative Talk, and Liberal Talk, too. XM Radio is awesome, and for the price, it isn't a bad deal. When I bought my Jeep last summer, it came with 3 free months of XM Radio. I enjoyed it so much, that I decided to keep it. It's normally $12.95/month, but I decided on the 2-year plan, because it averaged out to be cheaper. Plus, they gave me an additional 3 free months. The quarterly plan is nice, too.
