I shut the radio off years ago.
It's been too much time spent in the woods. Out there, you need to be totally aware of your surroundings. It's the sights, the scents, the feel, the sounds, and sometimes even the taste. If there's a noise interfering with being able to hear everything that's going on out there it's almost like being blind.
It carried over into every day life.
Turn up the tunes and drift off into your own little world.
Turn off the tunes and tune in to the world outside of you.
Either way .... It's all good !
