I am looking for a special radio that also streams. I have a set up in my kitchen. An old pad computer which is connected to a jbl speaker. I listen to streaming music and my podcast programs as well as some live shows like steyn. .

However it is not portable. I would love to find all this in one package. Like a portable radio. So I can carry it room to room. The screen and wifi connection. The ability to have all my stations and podcasts right there. Great quality speakers. If there was built in amfm that would be a wonderful bonus. Rechargeable and plug in able.

I cannot find anything at all like this. Any ideas?

Why not just a simple iPad? As long as you have Internet access, either WiFi or get a wireless version, you’ll have access to things. I use wireless iPad and perfect without interruption.

There are still dedicated ‘internet radio devices’ available quite cheaply.

Search engine it.

Searching Amazon for “portable wifi radio” brings up several products that seem to fit your description.

I would not recommend a iPad but a very cheap Google pad with a good Bluetooth speaker

Failing that, you might try a set of speakers. They have some where you can plug one into the device and the other is portable.

Of course if you have hundreds of dollars to spend an Apple won’t let you down. But much less the little speakers in my 10” Fire Tablet sounds pretty darn good.

Recently I got a new truck and signed up for Sirius. That gave me the privilege of downloading the app and putting it on my Samsung phone (as well as my laptop.... I think the rule is that only one device can be connected at a time). As for anything resembling ‘news’, I just watch Newsmax or Maria on Fox Business on my Samsung while at the gym. The speakers on the Samsung are only so-so but my bluetooth earbuds are great... and I also have JBL bluetooth speakers for when I don’t want to be wearing earbuds. I don’t think it gets too much easier than that....

I use my phone as a radio mostly, calling, texting or whatever else is occasional.

Yamaha MusicCast. Expensive for what you might be looking for, but it works real well. I use it, and love it.

I have a Dewalt radio that may fill your needs. I carry it camping or just on the porch when I want music outside. Good speakers and I can bluetooth almost anything I want to it from my phone.

Phone with FM reception (like my Moto) and a small soundbar (with or without companion subwoofer depending on circumstances).
