TuneIn Radio - - Listen to the world’s largest collection of sports, news, music and talk radio.

Sometimes we may want, or need, to listen to local terrestrial radio, even with all the Internet streaming options for music and such. TuneIn turns in your device into a world wide radio receiver, allowing you to bring your favorite stations -- even those from your old hometown -- right to you no matter where you are. My wife still listens to a lot of radio and this app, along with her iPad lets her have her music in her offices (she teaches at several universities) and on the go. If you still have a love to traditional radio, this is one of the easiest ways to get your fix.

This is exactly why one of my most important organizing devices is a shared calendar that reflects all the activities and events for everyone in the household...and I do mean everything.
