Trade organization RAJAR, which measures UK radio usage, has released its Q4 2025 data. The headline takeaway tells us that 50 million adults (86% of the adults UK population) listens to the radio at least weekly. That usage adds up to just over one billion listening hours. On a per-listener basis, the average person hears 20-30 hours of live radio per week. These numbers do not necessarily indicate turning on an analog radio. Forty-four million 15+ UK'ers use a digitally enabled platform each week.

I think there's something in this that allows me to like stay in my life while I'm doing it. And therefore I think it allows me to take care of myself better, which I think makes me better at doing the thing.

At this point, it's Israel/Palestine. Rangers/Celtic. No one remembers how it got started. All they know is, I like this team and I don't like that team.' The whole country's gone fucking mad. It's what happens in a civil war—everyone starts thinking with the blood.
