In the likely event you have migrated from radio to podcast for your audio pleasure, you probably found a speed bump in your shower: how to get your podcast into your showering routine.
If you are like me, NPR is readily consumed during my morning ablutions but I have developed a growing fascination of podcasts. As I alternate between FM and podcasts, the perfect solution for the bathroom is the SoundBot® SB510S FM Radio. Because it provides Bluetooth connectivity, I can set my mobile phone to play a podcast and the water resistant SoundBot unit affixes nicely to the inside of my shower. A suction cup ensures adherence, and the surprisingly robust sound more than offsets the showerhead, even if I toggle the latter to massage / pulse mode.
The SoundBot battery is crazy long lasting; I have been waiting to finish this review to see how many days until recharge, and it has been well over six weeks. The manufacturer says the battery has a six hour playing time, so I guess I have been dutifully moving quickly out of the shower during the drought.
The FM scan feature let me find my local NPR station, and I could conceivably take phone calls in the shower with the hands free functionality, but I think only Donald Trump would use this feature.
The list price is $50, but I see it currently available online for less than $10. This is a great way to maximize the utility of your shower time.
