Radio – About 6/7 Hours of the station I work for – including my own prog, regrettably! At home, listen to Radio 3 on DAB and Freeview, and online to XM Radio’s Deep Tracks, Q104.3 New York, and ESPN 950 Indianapolis – plus, I record various UK ILR drive shows to compare with mine. Lately listening to 5 Live Sports Xtra most nights for the Cricket World Cup.

Podcasts – Lots of tech podcasts – dl.tv, MacBreak Weekly, Windows Weekly, Buzz Out Loud etc. Plus Coffeegeek and Portafilter – *two* podcasts about coffee… yeah I know…Recently getting into Whiskycast and Beer School too.

Music – About 6,000 cuts on my old school IRiver MP3 player – also the same tracks on computer at home. 50 percent pop, 40 pc classical, 10 pc jazz . About 90 mins all told of just random listening.

Books – Only getting through a book a month or so these days. Just finished Eamon Dunphy’s ‘Only a Game?’ – so many parallels between soccer and broadcasting! Now on to ‘The Waterfall’ by Margaret Drabble.

TV – Varies week to week, most likely to be a rerun on BBC4 or ITV3. Watch quite a few DVDs of old shows as well via one of the rental services. “To serve them all my days” is a big one at the moment. Let’s call it ten hours a week on average.

Magazines – The Radio Magazine, plus the odd PC title or maybe one of the Arena/GQ type men’s mags every couple of months.

Movies – Perhaps ten a year. Prefer the slightly arthouse ones to the mainstream stuff, so Pictureville in Bradford and the Showroom in Sheffield tend to get my custom.

Papers – The Saturday Yorkshire Post is my only regular purchase. In the studio, I’ll surround myself with the Yorkshire Post, Mail, Sun, Times and Telegraph to graze on.

Thanks for sharing, we’re not too different. I actually did include Radio and Podcasts in my music genre. I should have separated out by medium like you did. We both have the Feedreader and Newspaper as top and bottom respectively. Times are changing.

American radio is horrible, agreed.
