Don't be nasty - how could they make it better?
For one, the voice on Thinking Frequencies is really awkward to listen to, I don't find the Claude voice pleasant to listen to at all.

Claude is also getting very easily steered into political directions, it was playing a lot of union protest music with commentary. Though that meant I did end up learning a little about "Which Side Are You On" and its history from 1931:

By donating whatever money they wasted here to literally anything.
Most radio stations are already boring soulless algorithmic slop. They could make it better by curating musical taste.
Tossing turkeys out of a helicopter?
By not doing that.
Hire humans.
Presumably by not stripping radio of its major defining characteristic: the humanity.
It was also hilarious
