Look for (on sites that sell older hardware) a device called a RadioShark. It is a USB radio tuner that shows up as an audio card in the computer. Although it's software was written for older Windows and Mac machines, I've managed to create a Docker container that runs some Linux code to manage the tuner (search Github for the software).
