I used to listen to talk radio almost exclusively. Now I still listen to the local guy sometimes, but mostly I listen to AFR (American Family Radio).

What do you listen to when talk/news on radio gets unbearable?

Only once in a while.....
I only do talk radio once in a while. If I don't have my tunes with me I might listen to some. I don't like politics, but a show like Dean Adell the doctor were pretty good. OLD Larry King at nigh was good.

I will flip it over to 106.1 which is a local country station that plays "classic" country exclusively. Otherwise, my ipod is loaded with old country and bluegrass.

Mexican radio. All music, and a few jokes. No news, no politics, not that many ads. Accordians and tubas...."it's like polka, only played on stolen instruments "

No talk, no news except traffic reports both my wife and I keep it on KC's 101 the FOX most of the time. Classic Rock.
TV? We have not had cable in years. We have an HD antennae that gets one of the major networks and HULU off the internet for some things, like "Hell on Wheels". And My wife really got double ticked when they killed Lilly off.
HA, Ha, talk radio and TV, do they still run ads? Never mind, the endless commercials is another reason I quit them.

My iPod. Usually music, but I've also listened to audio books on long road trips.

Just play CD'S of my choice since Regan was president. Not one news cast, no TV or newspapers except the dinky home town one, like the funnies! Too many books from great writers await.

When I'm at home by myself, most of the time I like it quiet. Well, not really quiet, I'm 3 blocks from the ocean. I can hear it with the windows closed. If I want music, I'll pick up a guitar.
However, sometimes when working on a project, I'll go to youtube and either play one of my playlists, or pick out something completely random, and let it play through my TV's sound system.
In the car, if I'm listening to anything, it's Bob Dylan, Steely Dan, or the Beatles.
I'm not a big fan of talk radio.

I hate any kind of jabber so much that I just listen to MP3 music CDs in the car. Currently, broadcast radio has about 40% commercial content and I just can't stand listening to that noise.
Sirius radio subscriber. I flick between cable TV news stations FOX, CNN, MSNBC (for the fun of it) and FOX Business. When I'm "news'd out", I go to the comedy channels also on Sirius. Howard Stern has repeat segments during the non-broadcast hours and some of his interviews are riveting.
"Classic" rock usually includes several songs by Journey and Boston . . .

You are absolutely correct
Sometimes the "classic rock" station gets unbearable as well

Sirius radio Bluesville for me. Too much blabbering on broadcast channels. I can't stand talk radio either.
MP3 or 96.9 - Classic Rock
I have recently just started listening to podcasts. (These are recordings of people talking that you download and play on your computer, iPad, etc.) There are a lot of them, all sorts of genres, and so far the ones I have encountered are free.
I was listening to one today called "Detective." It features a retired Denver homicide detective speaking about his career experiences. Some of it is pretty grisly, but it is also quite interesting stuff.
I tried another, called "Hello from the Magic Tavern," which seems to be a sorta Tolkien meets Fire Sign Theater blend. It is amusingly zany, but I think perhaps not for me.
I think podcasts are an intriguing medium.
