Answer 1

If the length of the cord is just right for the radio frequency, that can happen.  That was how the crystal radio became a fad way back when.

We have a powerful radio station about 5 or 6 miles away as the bird flies.  Some days the radio station can be heard on the phone better than the caller.

Answer 4

The cord on your headphones is acting as an antenna and picking up a strong, local radio station.

You could try wrapping some ferrite around the headphone cord to stop it. Such as this:
