Radio is organized waves sent via certain wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, decoded by our radio. Lighting also creates waves in some of the same wavelengths, but these waves are disorganized and chaotic. When your radio detects these waves, it naively tries to convert them into sounds, but since it is just random white noise, we hear a crackle.
because the radio use ELECTROmagnetic waves. and there was just a sudden blast of ELECTRICITY from the sky. its going to make some waves. If these waves are louder than the broadcast station (at your distance from each), its going to mess up the radio for a bit.

Never heard of this. How close does the lighting have to be?
