You may want to look at Freeplay:
http://www.freeplay.net/freeplay/products/radio_fpr2.htm

Their products are solar powered and/or hand crank powered.  They are designed for people in remote locations.  (I've never found the need for this myself & don't have one).  I've seen several favorable reviews.  No doubt you can find smaller, cheaper units which run on batteries, at Radio Shack.
