glitchy

I love the content but in the last few weeks it just stops playing quite often. i have a strong and stable wi fi connection, and the app is updated, so
I'm not sure why it's glitching every 15
minutes or so. it's quite annoying, to the point that I now just stream
from the website.

The 90s called…

They want their app back…
Everything is based on the awful logo. Hard to get beyond that tbh.

Station is great—but where’s the playlist?

Station management should take a look at WFMU’s playlist automation. I’d help fundraise for it!

Great app and content

Prefer over KQED because you don’t have those long, annoying commercials before the feed starts.
