Antenna

I work in a space building-all metal, no radio reception. All I get to listen to are the voices in my head, no fun at all. What antenna setup do I need to get simple FM reception?

buy one of those music boxes, what are they called iPod or something, and store your own music on it.

Your not missing anything with radio Fred. Get an i pod and put 1000's of songs on there yourself.
I also work in metal building and worse on cape so we get no reception, crappy stations anyway mostly. I want to listen to sox mostly on radio so I have to walk around shop till I can find a spot where I can get it but a PIA for sure, sometimes have to hang the wire antenna out the window wrapped around a 12' long 1/4" piece of stainless, although not during lightning storms. get the pod well worth it.
