See above - it's entertainment not "education". It shouldn't require
"concentration" (an early Hugh Downs TeeVee game show).

Living on a busy thoroughfare I use radio as "white noise".

 RH> Anywhere near Dogpatch? (G)

Dogpatch USA is/was located in NW Arkansas south of Branson, MO. The
originator of Dogpatch, Al Capp, never specified a location for his
mythical town - and I had always thought it would most likely be in
Eastern Kentucky/West Virginia.
