electromagnetic spectrum

hello
today, a frien called me and asked me something about the elctromagnetic spectrum, and I wanted to hear what you guys think about it.

Wel so light travels by photons, and light is just one part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the only difference between light and lets say radio waves is the wavelength. But, if you are in a dark room (shilded from the photons and hence visible light) you can still pick up a radio station (radio waves must be present).

So , the question was if radio waves, micro waves and all the other parts of the em spectrum also traveld in photons, like light? I would really want to hear what you guys think about this.
