I often listen to music than listen to news because there are news that just makes me irritated and that affects my driving. Music calms me down so that would really help.
I listen to a lot of electronica, downtempo and acid jazz; very calming. I remember this one time I played some of my music while my roommate was driving and I guess it was a little too soothing because she started falling asleep, lol.
I love to listen to the news or to talk radio while I'm in the car. It gives me time to check up on what's been happening while I've been busy. I rarely get time to watch TV anymore so I get to listen to the news in the car.
I don't listen to the news too much, I usually read it online first thing in the morning and that is it. I ended up getting a satellite radio because then I don't have to listen to talking or ads if I don't want to.
I listen to either my favorite country station or one of the rock station. I am a channel surfer. I always start the morning with my country station though. They have a great morning show. 9 times out of 10, they make me laugh.
I listen to everything, well, except talk radio usually. Usually it is music when I'm by myself, unless a long road trip, I may put on an audio book. With the wife it is music, and with the kid it is a movie or music.
I like to get radio shows from the library to listen to in the car. I think they call them radio plays now. The sort that George Burns and Gracy Ally used to do. I wish radio stations would go back to playing those more often.
