I grew up absolutely ENAMORED of radio.  I could not get enough.  I wasn’t allowed to have a phone (landline) or a TV (three channels) in my room, so when I was in my room by myself, I was truly by myself.  I was a complete bookworm and in my room a LOT, and quickly discovered that if I felt a little lonely, all I had to do was turn on the radio.  Boom.  Fixed.  Literally one flick of a switch, and I was no longer alone.  It was the best magic trick I’ve ever encountered.  Still is.
