Radio waves are a pretty big part of the EM spectrum. Do you mean like sudden intense jamming from outer space, or like physics just stops suddenly?
If its the former, its going to depend on what parts of the spectrum are being jammed, but most modern militaries are actually pretty prepared for radio jamming and have alternate systems for most critical applications. The scenario is fairly similar to the EMP saturated environment expected in a nuclear war. The military has spent a lot of time and money preparing to moderate the worst of those effects. Civilian systems would not handle things very well at all. Expect lots of catastrophic cascading failures and instances of permanent damage.
If its the later, all bets are off any time physics breaks.

I mean like, anything in the “Radio Wave” frequencies just stops working. Everything else works. No EMP or anything, just “Magic”
(C’mon, I just want to see how society would function without any radios)

Ok, so if the only change is that RF radiation is not emitted…I guess blackbody radiation breaks, Earth becomes uninhabitable and everyone dies. Not sure exactly how long it would take, maybe weeks or months? Maybe years?

Your question is not consistent. Plenty of radios operate in the microwave band. Do they work or not? You keep posting the wiki image saying it’s “only radio” that doesn’t work, but then you come down here and say “no radios” (at all).
