    Do the under-25s listen to the radio? Something one of my undergrads said in a supervision today made me think that perhaps they don’t, which was a bit of a revelation.

        I think you mean: do they listen in to the wireless?

        Or the steam radio as Edward Thompson liked (I hope semi-self-satirically) to call it.

        They are okay with podcasts, but it seems like they’re not really attuned to live radio.

        Conversely, I don't know what a podcast actually is... 🤔

        Not as far as I can see. Spotify and its ilk seem to have usurped it.
