Are you regularly forced to listen to radio? Every so often I get stuck at the dentist's or somewhere where they have one of the rock stations with HORRIBLE djs constantly talking over the music, I don't think I could work in a place like that, especially the horror stories I hear about workplaces where they pipe in right-wing talk radio. :/
I am really bad at listening to interviews or call-in shows! So embarrassment squicky. The local DC politics shows often have really good interviewers and really amazing guests, and also they're about stuff like infrastructure planning that I am always there for, so I can sometimes sit through them (and I got a lot of my pre-internet sex ed from Loveline under the covers in high school), but even then I almost always have to flip away when the call-in parts start. (Luckily those are just about the only shows in that format that I get on these channels.)
I do not have as much of an earworm problem as you, wow! I can almost always knock out an earworm with another earworm, and if all else fails playing something catchy on the piano usually works, so at least I don't have to worry about something getting stuck for days.
