Nobody “stays tuned” anymore, except to UI metaphors that linger long past peak meaningfulness.
Tuning a radio or TV has evolved to finding and saving frequency presets during setup that we then occasionally click through when we’re not streaming on-demand non-live media feeds.

Psychedelic practitioners, basically. And while I’m one, that’s unimportant. What’s interesting is how common auditory hallucinations that mimic, invoke or evoke the noises of radio tuning are —with _or_ without using entheogens—. A veritable trope.
