Wobbly lines
About 35 years ago, I used to listen to Radio Luxembourg of a night using a so-called pillow speaker that plugged into the earphone socket of my not-so-portable Roberts multi-band radio.

The speaker was a plastic disc about 3" in diameter that you slid under your pillow, setting the radio volume low enough so that only you could hear it.

The disadvantage was if you caught the wire with your arm when turning over in bed and yanked the plug out of the radio: the bedroom was filled with a tinny blast of Kid Jensen's transatlantic tones, or whatever popular beat combo was in the hit parade at the time.
