You don't need to explain why radios work, you need to explain how some characters who are so clueless about physics that they believe that radios wouldn't work around radioactive materials have managed to work with dangerous substances without killing themselves. | |

Radiation would have no effect on the usability of radios (at least if it's not intense enough to disrupt the electronic circuitry), but (depending on frequency & building construction) the building walls might present a problem. Same reason you might not get good cell service in an office building. | |

Problems would occure if you have a nuclear explosion, because of the nuclear blackout. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_blackout | |
