In the US, a lot of radio stations now have Streaming Services.

There's also (in the US) things like SiriusFM and Pandora that stream music. I use Pandora myself.

Your Asus 2020 doesn't have a radio receiver built in. You can buy a USB one for about $20 if you are state-side, or more depending on local conditions.

Besides that, you are looking at internet radio either from the website of your local radio station, or Pandora.

There are certainly AM/FM tuners that you can plug into a PC, but they cost roughly the same as a regular travel radio. For most applications you'd be better off buying one of those.
