As a I kid I always used the radio alarm clock too! Probably until high school when I got my first cell phone, why did we let phones do this to us!? I am so bad at getting up and hit snooze way too much. You may be inspiring me to get my Sony boom box back out lol

Hannah! Thanks for your comment, sorry it took me so long to see it! How is that snooze button going? Any more thoughts on the radio? Are you convinced? You're lucky to have WXPN every morning, should you choose. Even better now the member drive is done for a bit...

I love your blog, Laura! You have a very captivating way of writing, and it's compelling to read. Plus, I love learning about foreign cultures. Keep up that work! :)

PS: Listening to a (British) classical radio station (on my phone) while writing this. Having found this particular radio station is, my husband says, the best thing I brought back home from my year abroad in England many years ago.

Thank you, Birgit! You’re so worldly, so the compliment means a lot! What’s the name of the radio station??? If it’s online, I’d love to find it.

You're very welcome, you definitely deserve it. :)

The station is called 'Classic FM'. You can listen to it on your browser (you need just to enter any random UK post code), or via an app (Classic FM via Global Player). We listen to it on a daily basis!
