New phrase:
to tune someone out - this means to stop listening or paying attention to someone who is speaking.
Example:
- I didn't like math. In class, I often tuned my teacher out and started drawing on my paper.
- The child didn't listen to his mother. All he could do was tune her out while thinking about Star Wars.
- Many people said he couldn't do it, but he tuned them out and did his best.
Radio
I remember when I was young, I used to listen to the radio. There were only about 6 stations you could tune in to. There were 2 country stations, 2 rock stations, 1 oldies station, and 1 R&B station. All those stations played music only.
If you wanted talk radio, you had listen to AM radio. However, in the mornings many radio stations had talk shows for people on their morning commute. I was never interested in those talk shows and just tuned them out. I think Japanese radio has more talk than music. We have an AM station called NPR (National Public Radio) which is similar to NHK. These days, I never listen to the radio anymore. Does anyone?
