I maaaay have taken my phone on an accidental trip in a pool and was given an old phone to use as temporary. Has a headphone port. Saw the radio app and realized how do many of my smart phones even had radio access even though they all are capable. Bastards

I may be wrong here, but it sounds like it's using the wire in the headphones as an antenna. Hence the specific need and the general absence on modern phones as they don't have a means of reliably receiving that form of signal.
