when all you've got is FM. Everything I want to hear is on AM. I can listen to music all the way across the US and get actual news everywhere but only from AM. There is actual talk radio so I can listen to another human voice. I may not agree with what's being said but it is a voice and I'm not alone out there in the darkness
