Yes.
I still have a Zenith transistor radio from the 1960s. I listen to the news on it every morning. It is AM only, but still works well.

Remember how as teenagers we used to walk around with our transistor radios pressed to our ear; hand tucked inside the tight leather case strap? This is now referred to as the "pre-ear bud era". Lol.

...yeah, what's up with that? I can pretty much OUT EAT anyone (..and no, I'm not "400lbs") but I've NEVER taken pics of my food. Who cares? Right?
For YEARS I've questioned this obsession with food pics. Why would I care about what YOU ordered for dinner? 🙄 🙄 🙄

I've always wondered the same thing about all the pics that people on social media take and share of everything they do all day. I shake my head often and think, "Who the hell cares?". Our world has given up their privacy in all aspects of their lives.

Transistor radio under the pillow at night, still remember hearing the “new song” from the Beatles, “Let It Be” for the first time. 😌

An enjoyable way to spend your hour of darkness before falling asleep.

I know people here are quit a bit older than me but, I can remember before transistor radios (1957) [they were all large with tubes] and we did not have a TV and our first was an 8" screen in a large box bought in Western Auto with terrible reception and we were only 65 miles from N.Y.. Had to put an antenna in a tall tree next to the house to get the three networks and 2 independents. All N.Y. stations. Rabbit ears even with the tin foil only got one station N.H..
Tree - 2-WCBS,4-WNBC,5-WNEW?,7-WABC, 11-WPIX
Rabbit ears - 8-WTNH- now WNHC abc
