    Is this happening anywhere outside US? Because every American radio station, TV program, podcast etc. seems to be fiiled to the brim with these annoying sound effects, ads, and with obnoxious testoreone imbued speaker.

    And I don't remember encountering it anywhere in Europe.

    I’ve never listened to much radio but I have a distinct memory of drinking in a bar in Dominican Republic and hearing air horn sfx throughout the night

      i dont remember many sound effects, but the testosterone imbued speaker is definitely in one of the big privately-owned rock radios in germany.

      one thing that always annoyed me tho is when stations play snippets of really good music in their announcements or adverts, and then resume to playing the boring songs they played the last 3 hours.

          I haven't listened to radio in >10 years, but back in the day they had a bunch of pre-recorded station ID messages like this in Germany, France and some African countries.

          Yeah I think every radio station uses these pre-recorded snippets, but they are usually rather mild and they serve to remind you that "yup, you're still listening to our radio btw, ok bye"

            You still hear music on FM radio and not just ads the entire 20 minute car ride?

                  I just noticed the headphones in the picture are Audeze LCD 2, I think. Expensive AF. In case anyone wanted to know that.

                    Yes!

                    FM radio has to compete with (free) Spotify nowadays given that 4g coverage is pretty ubiquitous, at least where I live. This means they can't stuff too many ads in there.

                        Old time beard look? You mean...trimmed beards?

                        Also, men don't have to confirm to your beauty standards. Maybe THEY like having old timey beards

                                  I remember that one station that would advertise that they would play "uninterrupted music" during certain parts of the day. Only to then constantly interrupting it to tell us how they currenlty playing "uninterrupted music".
