I assume you're referring to an antenna. If the radio runs on 120 VAC power, AND develops an internal short that connects the antenna to the hot side of the line (very unlikely), AND your hands are wet and you're standing in a puddle of water, then yes. Otherwise, no... Except, if you're holding onto the wire when a storm is passing through, and it gets hit by lightning, you can get fried.

Always safe to say yes when "fooling" with a wire. Don't even think about it.

If you mean speaker wire, yes, but you may not feel it!
If you are talking about the wire to the wall, you will FEEL that one. Yes again.

Depends on how much voltage is on the wire. <20 V you should be fine.

If the radio is plugged in or has batteries in it yes.

you can get electrocuted by rubing a baloon on you hair and touching metal.

if it is a radio that uses electricity, and is on, yes, you probably can get shocked. (ouch, not cool!)

If there's any power to it, yep...
