I've switched to listening to NPR exclusively using podcasts. I do find I'm behind on current events though, even major ones, such as riots, but I attribute that to me not having added any current event shows, such as morning edition, which I believe also comes in podcast form.

I use Pocket Casts for android to handle automatic downloading of specific sets of podcasts when my phone is on wifi and plugged in, out of the larger set I've decided is interesting, so getting the content is really a non-issue for me (and I wholeheartedly recommend Pocket Casts!).

It's worth noting that my lack of awareness of current events persists even though I get a good dose of random pop radio in the morning while dropping my children off at school, so I don't attribute that problem as much to a lack of FM radio as I do to a lack of news radio.
