I think you missed the thing they were referring to with the age gap - the kids called the radio a podcast. Not that OP being surprised that kids don't like talk radio
I think you misunderstood what I'm saying; I'm saying the kid is deliberately calling the radio a podcast to annoy OP. They know what a radio is because they've grown up with their parent using it day in day out in the car. So it's not an age gap as OP thinks, I'm saying this one is probably the early stages of the long war known as "having teenage kids".
Ah I got you. I've seen similar things happen so often with kids hat hadn't crossed my mind. My nephew thought his grandma's cordless (landline) phone was a remote control and wouldn't believe otherwise until I called it. "Why is it beeping???" "That's called a dialtone" "what's it supposed to do???"
