On the radio

Call me old school but I still love the radio. I could listen to NPR pretty much 24/7--and might--if it weren't for my music-obsessed sigOth and those kids of mine who aren't into Leonard Lopate just yet.

If you have a radio junkie on the gift list, here are some radios that are mindblowingly gorgeous.

 

The wooden radios by Singgih Kartono are called modern-viintage, but they're more modern than vintage in their eco-sensibiity. They're not cheap with the Magno Radio shown above starting at $150, but they are all handcrafted out of sustainable wood in an Indonesian farming village, where a new tree is planted for every one used. And oh lordy are they stunning.

The radios are MP3 compatible too, so when the AM is getting wonky, you can switch to your Benny Goodman tracks. I mean...Jay Z. -Liz
