My retro radio now plays through my smart speakers, and it got me thinking

Honestly, fiddling with the dials back in the day was half the fun. Tbh, streaming playlists to it now is cool, but I miss that tactile vibe.

Kinda miss the hunt. It's all too easy now. Took the fun out of it.

My grandpa's old Philco in the basement finally got hooked to a Bluetooth adapter last year. Sure, spinning the dial felt neat, but hunting for a clear station was mostly static and frustration. Now I can actually listen to a whole baseball game or a playlist without that awful crackle. The soul of the thing is still there, it just works better.

Wait, how did you even wire that up?
