    I would rather have silence than listen to radio. Commercials make me want to run my car into a wall.

    Im making my bi-weekly drive from Philadelphia to Buffalo after work today. Its going to be the Howard Stern replay... Then Ferrell from 8 to midnight. If I feel like music I will listen to Lithium (Sirius 24).

    all my driving, it seems that the drive goes the quickest when talk radio is on.

    If you like talk and have an iPod plus adapter for your car, then you should check out Adam Carolla's podcasts: http://carollaradio.com/
    They are great listening!
