Not Very Often

[jennyjoan]

Not very often I miss my morning programmes which I thoroughly enjoy through my headphones. Just the last two weeks I for the first time heard the music from a harmonica. Absolutely beautiful.

Anyway I just have an ordinary digital radio - is there anything I can do to be able to hear my favourite music later on in the day or must I buy another new gadget. Thanks PS The radio does not have record feature.

[jennyjoan]

somebody was talking earlier on about a Podcast so that could be played later per se. Thanks

what about Echo/that other name? would that record like an hour show

[jennyjoan]

Alexis - think the name is. my friend has one but she only asked to play one song - can Alexis play do think. I would invest in something

[jennyjoan]

^^^can Alexis play do think a full recording^^

[spathiphyllum]

Use the computer as a radio. Just search the station you wish to listen to.

[spathiphyllum]

Alexis can play the radio or a podcast.

What radio stations do you listen to?

I listen to a lot of my fave radio on my pc

[tonyav]

jj, if it's a BBC radio station you will be able to get it on bbc iplayer.

[Tilly2]

It's Alexa and you need an Echo dot.

[jennyjoan]

thanks all - I'll just get up earlier for my fav.

[andy-hughes]

Have you really grown to adulthood as a radio listener and never heard a harmonica before?

[Mamyalynne]

Speak up a bit - JJ's deef.x

She loves me really :-)

[Baldric]

Bit uncalled for AH, JJ is well documented on AB as having hearing problems, and problems finding the correct aids to assist her.
Don't bother with a follow up, I've just popped downstairs for a brace of G&Ts and am going back to bed.
Good night.

I was unaware of JJ's hearing problems, and I meant no offence by my genuine question. If JJ is upset by my question, I hope she will accept my sincere apologies.

[Mamyalynne]

Doubt she'll be upset.

[tonyav]

Ohhhh you're in trouble andy, she'll be up for a scrap when she she's this ;-)

[jennyjoan]

not a bit annoyed AH - it is par for the course. I do come across in real life not being one bit deaf as I lipread all the time.

Brothers used to ring me on the phone and sometimes I couldn't hear them - they used to shout "are ye deaf or what" - me - Yes I am - from I was bloody born.

But about the harmonica because the earphones are right in my earholes I am hearing other music before ie harmonica, clarinet, Roy Orbison when he goes up and down and of course other singers going up and down. After all these years am enjoying all these beautiful sounds. Oh by the way Andy - I have never heard a bird singing. Awwww LOL -

[hc4361]

PLEASE tell us which radio stations you listen to

[jennyjoan]

HC - anything I can hear LOL - at the highest volume but of course via the earphones.

RNID people also lent me like a loop - went round my neck and some kind of way connected to the TV - no when I got a drop o drink - forgot about the loop and tripped. Out that had to go.

Radio Foyle, Ulster basically morning and afternoon.

[jennyjoan]

thanks HC - do only have the pc and radio - that'll do me
