It depends what you like.
I like Christian acapella or Christian orthodox chants and instrumental Christian music. For this see: Acappella, Vocal Union, AVB bands, then Divna Ljubojevic and Nana Peradze, also NYCYPCD.
But it is easier to seek through different Christian radios and then find the one which appeals to you:
ex:
I don't know, i was not interested in rap music.
You could try listening to various Christian radios to find those you like. I would listen to various Christian radio stations online until i would find music i liked: ex for you:
You can never go wrong with listening to music that you already enjoy while on mushrooms. You'll be able to hear it and appreciate it in entirely new ways.
If you like certain genres of music you could always go to http://shoutcast.com and listen to internet radio streams in your web browser that way. You may end up discovering some new awesome bands. :)
internet radio.
Stream radio from your web browser. There are indexes, like http://internet-radio.com and http://shoutcast.com - but most all FM stations also stream these days, including things like NPR.
When I get home sick, I always stream my home town radio station from 2 time zones away.
I'm not into podcasts, but apparently there are tons of high quality pod casts out there.

Note: I make every effort to programatically figure out if links originally posted to Reddit are still good, but it's difficult.
If the original URL doesn't work, or has been replaced with something else, please help out by searching the Wayback Machine for the URL and posting a contemporary link if you find one. There's also a Chrome Extension which makes this process easy.
Then instead of watching worldly crap - you should walk away from it and replace it instead with good influence from God and His son Jesus Christ, by prayer to Him, evading worldly propaganda, seeking purer things - like Bible study, worship of God at church, there are plenty of Christian books and sites.
You can find Christian music and radio you like, for example by trying online Christian radio stations, until you find the ones you like - i do not like all Christian music, so i checked one radio station and if not interesting go to another. You can also save links to these streams to listen through media player, like winamp, later.
Spotify works... here are some other ones I have found along the way

| http://shoutcast.com <- how I found above; still going strong since 1998
Memory! You'll want at least 8GB of Ram and add an SSD. Esp. so if the OS is Yosemite or newer.
If the machine is crashing a lot or acting punk, definitely try the hard drive - if it is the shipping drive it's time (their life expectancy is 3 years, so after that, any drive, esp. one in a laptop is on borrowed time)
OnyX is more a general maintenance program, and IIRC can only really diagnose the SMART status of the drive. The rest of it's options are file and disk management.
In iTunes there is actually an internet radio function that Apple has hidden by default so as to get it's users to migrate to Apple Music, and you find the setting "internet radio" to turn it on in the iTunes Preferences. Also if you're looking for stations that aren't in the station listings, there is the old MIT Radio-Locator and of course Shoutcast - and if the site you want offers it, you grab the download of the winamp .pls file and you can add that as a station link in a custom playlist.
Start with the drive first. Memory second and see what that does.
What about streaming internet radio? Real radio sucks. di.fm is one of my favs. If you like Gaydar radio, their disco house station might make you happy. If you don't like anything they've got to offer, Shoutcast could be what you're looking for.
If you're wanting something like Sirius/XM, you can buy an online subscription and stream that.
If you can't get access to US-based stations or Pandora, buy yourself a VPN that terminates in the US so these services won't know where you're from.
There's just no reason to listen to British radio if you don't want to. The alternatives are there.
