It's World Radio Day
Yeah, I know what I said, but I can get into this one. BTW, streaming audio isn't technically radio even if you use wifi or a satellite internet link. You have to use a real radio.
When I was growing up we had an old cabinet tube radio. The thing was huge. And though I highly doubt it could really pick up some of the stations it showed on the dial, with many of them being in Europe, it could definitely get stations that weren't in our area. Comparing it to others, I'm relatively sure it was from the 1930s, though I can't say that with certainty.
I still listen to local FM stations sometimes when I'm driving, but more often than not I have it on a classic rock satellite station.
I don't think I've had my stereo on in the last three years. It's not even plugged in. :p
I have a Denon receiver in my office that very occasionally has my phone piped through it. For the most part it's used to pipe the TV audio while running on the treadmill or some other exercise. I might have the radio section on for about five minutes, once a year, just to see what's even still available to listen to just using the roof antenna.
Edit: I might even use it for game audio...
