Check all the fuses first, if they're fine,
For the radio(if it's in fact the whole radio and not just the head unit light); check the fuse on the back of the radio if it has one, check for current from Battery+ wire leading to radio, or ground. if those check out fine, the radio itself is most likely dead, if nothing had power it could be a relay on the printed circuit board(don't touch this with your fingers), have a technician diagnose this.
For the dome light; check current to the switch, if it checks out fine move to the light itself, if it checks out fine replace the bulb, if there is no power at all it could be a relay, or a B+ wire is shorted out, or the ground isn't good.

The bulb is burnt out, the fuse is burnt out, the battery is dead, or the wiring has come loose (rather unlikely)

Why does the dome light stay on with Dodge Spirit 1994 unable to fix unless pull 10 A fuse to dome light unit and radio Removed dome light bulb and left fuse in battery still drains down?

Sounds like the switch that is in the door frame might be broken. In some cars the switch is in the inside wall of the door frame. You can see it with the car door open. The button gets pushed in as the door closes against it, turning the circuit and the dome light off. Some switches are housed inside a rubber boot that sits in the door frame. I had a truck once with that style switch and it needed a little fiddling to get the light to come on. Its possible that the button on the switch broke off. Then the door doesn't push against the button to turn the circuit off, so the light stays on constantly. A last resort work-around might be to pull the bulb out of the dome light. Then you could have the fuse in to operate the radio and the battery won't drain down, I'd assume.

If the radio in a 94 Dodge Spirit goes out but the dome light still works is it just because the radio is broken or could it be an electrical problem?

The circuits have nothing in common. The dome light works whether or not the key is on, the radio only works with the key on.
