Turn the ignition key to the accessory position which is normally counterclockwise. Only the radio will be drawing power. If you have a good battery you could listen for a couple of hours without running the battery down. Any longer and the battery may go dead.
Make sure that the headlights are off; these may still remain on when the key is in the accessory position. Headlights will drain the battery very quickly.
It may also be advisable to run the engine for a few minutes every half-hour or so, to recharge the battery.

Would you rather live without a TV or without a radio?
I would much rather live without a radio. You can get music lots of ways other than the radio, including MTV and VH-1. Definitely without a radio. TV is very good entertainment and often educational. If your PlayStation or Xbox is hooked to your TV monitor, you would lose those as well. You can listen to music on your computer, TV, iPod and such. (I personally don't listen to the radio much anyway.)
