Insomniac due to migraine

Turn on radio with usual ABC local radio station - usually mostly talking.

It's Saturday night, so ABC Local is playing country music ... But not just any country music - I turned on the radio and got honest to god yodeling!

It did unfortunately not cure my insomnia or my migraine!!!

Have concluded universe hates me. Yodeling?!?! Seriously!!??! That's just mean, dear universe!!

It is a lot easier to talk about incidental stuff than important stuff at the moment ... Too much serious stuff happening too. Will try to write about that too soon.

Love you all

A recommendation: if you want talking and not much music, try ABC Newsradio. Assuming for a moment that you can get it clearly, the transmission is a bit lacking.

It was about 1:50am so I knew it'd stop soon ... Plus I may have been going OMG must blog this!!

Actually I listen via iPhone NodeRadio app so I have the choice if all of the ABC in brilliant clarity, and if that fails I pull out the TuneIn app and dig around PBS or the BBC - technology is so cool!

Oh, I hadn't known about NodeRadio!

I use TuneIn for this stuff, have done for ages.

The one late-night catch with NewsRadio is that they're rebroadcasting BBC World Service, and on Saturday and Sunday nights that means sports...

NodeRadio's handy because it automatically uses the rebroadcast and therefore quota-free stations. I had hand-added my favourite rebroadcast streams into TuneIn but that's marginally less handy if I want to wander around stations and find new ones.

I'm finding myself mostly allergic to current affairs at the moment so I'm more listening to local ABC radio and RN, or failing that some of the BBC stations that are in TuneIn, navigating away from anything like the 6pm local ABC hour of current affairs. And also lots of ABC podcasts for time-shifting purposes - I very much like the new Apple Podcasts app because it makes it much easier to 'browse' podcasts without killing my download quotas!

For podcasts there are also lots of good NPR and BBC ones, too. If you're up for something an hour long, try This American Life if you haven't already.

I use Pocket Casts for podcasts. The new Apple one still isn't as good as that, though it's certainly improving.

Good lord - yodelling? That's bad enough in the middle of the day!

Sending you gentle, quiet hugs.
