Actually, it’s iHeartRadio! Whenever there’s a hurricane or some other natural disaster, authorities will tell you to have a battery-operated radio. And, that’s a good thing to do. However, as long as you have cell tower coverage or Wi-Fi available, you can use an app (called “iHeartRadio”) on your smartphone or tablet or you can use a computer browser to visit their website – www.iheartradio.com.

This app allows you to listen to stations from all over the United States and Mexico. You can create a favorite list so you don’t have to constantly search for your favorite station.

iHeartRadio isn’t just live radio stations – you’ll find podcasts, too. You can also create playlists and search for the artists you like.

There’s a free version of the app but you will have to endure advertising. If you want to do away with the ads and also make use of some other paid-only features, you can upgrade. It’ll cost you $10 a month but it might be worth it in the long run. Best advice: use the free version for a few weeks then decide whether you want to spend the money to upgrade.
