Which Breakfast Show Radio DJ Will You Listen To?
Chris Evans takes his place in Terry Wogan's seat this morning to become the new presenter of Radio 2's breakfast show weekdays between 7-9.30am, with Moira Stuart as his newsreader. The Chris Evans Breakfast Show will be going head to head with Chris Moyles' Radio 1 show, which airs 6.30-10am weekdays. I'd love to know which DJ you'll be waking up with, so vote below to let me know: will you listen to Chris Evans or Chris Moyles?
The App That Made My Day: KEXP
If you recall, I'm a big fan of the Seattle-based KEXP radio station (you know, the one with DJs who actually pick their own playlists), and you can often find me at my desk with my headphones on, rocking out. Although I can sometimes catch KEXP on Ootunes (which in itself is a great app but a big battery drainer), I was ever so happy when I discovered that KEXP has its very own iPhone app now!
Streaming the station's great music at 128k and 35k speeds, the app keeps me entertained all day long.

Do You Tune In For First Plays of New Singles?
On Friday morning Robbie Williams cemented his comeback by visiting Chris Moyles at Radio 1 for an interview and playing his new single "Bodies" for the first time. On Monday morning Cheryl Cole will do the same thing with her new single "Fight For This Love", appearing on the show between 7 and 9am. When I was younger I used to tune in to the radio for first plays of new singles, but on Friday I definitely tuned in more for the interview than the single as I knew I'd be able to catch up with that online.
Stripper Music Radio Station — Hilarious or Horrifying?
Alternative, hip-hop, country, rock, and now: lap dance. A radio station in Denver recently underwent a format change to become 101.5 The Pole, devoted to "classic nonstop stripper hits" from the '80s and beyond. Though it may just be a temporary stunt while the station transitions to an actual new format, The Pole is indeed spinning strip-centric hits until further notice.
Did You Ever Tune In For Casey Kasem's Weekly Radio Show?
As a kid, I used to tune into Casey Kasem's weekly Top 40 radio show every single week, always so anxious to find out what the No. 1 song was that week. It all seems quaint now, sitting excitedly by a radio as a kid, so maybe that's why I felt a little pang of nostalgia-fueled sadness when I learned that Casey Kasem has "officially said goodbye" completely to his radio show.

Although I don't listen to the radio much, I like to keep up on what the kids are listening to these days. After finding a ton of radio tuners in the App Store, I finally settled on one of these six tuners to install on my iPhone so I can rock out to the top 40 (or listen to some good talk radio) wherever I happen to be. Check out my faves in this slideshow.

Celebrity chefdom sure is far-reaching. Rachael Ray does daytime TV, Paula Deen dips candles, and now Bobby Flay is hosting a radio show.
Bobby Flay Radio debuts today on Sirius Satellite Radio.
NetWorks Radio Packs a Big Punch in a Tiny Package
Not only am I obsessed with online music sites like Pandora, but I also like to stream my favorite radio stations from various parts of the country. I feel like it gives me a real insight about what new music is out there. My computer is totally convenient, since I can do both from anywhere, but I think the NetWorks Radio is a very cool alternative .
Was Russell Brand's Voicemail Funny or Hurtful?
Russell Brand does get himself into trouble. If you've listened to his radio show or podcast, you know it's a rambling, often rude, flowery and stuttering trip through Russell's life and experiences. Usually it's a lot of fun.
