Hardwired radios are going to be difficult to find because I doubt any
company wants to take the risk.

Lets see:
Power line powered in a wet situation where the person is expected to touch
it.
If the shock and water spray hazard doesn't scare them away, how about hot
and periods of condensing humidity.

One suggestion would be to set up an isolated power supply (easy) that is
running an automotive radio.  Automotive equipment is tested for more severe
environments than normal equipment.
The next step down would be the power supply running a sporting oriented
unit.

A number of years ago, This Old House was going to put speakers in a sauna.
Dr. Bose was their guest expert and suggested automotive speakers for it
based on the similar temperatures that occur in a closed car.
