Could a Superhero with radio wave powers hear the radio?
Is it was technically possible for a superhero that senses radio waves (like low frequency EM) to "hear" the radio?
This superhero senses radio waves a bit like we can see visible light, though not with his eyes. He has a 360 degree field of radio vision, even wider than hearing as he senses these waves directly with his brain (this part doesn't need to be scientifically accurate, handwaving it to magic is fine with me).
I'm not entirely clear on how radio works. I know there is a carrier wave and all that but even when looking through Wikipedia I am not clear on if there'd be any kind of transformation needed to the signal. I have been told by music professors that when they used to play guitar on rainy days their amps could pick up some radio stations but then again amps transform the electric signal from the guitar into sound. The brain and auditory neurons don't necessarily work that way"¦ do they?
