User reviews

Perfect for the task at hand

Clean, no BS, well designed, could not do better given the job it needs to perform.

Finally

Non corporate run news. Much better than NPR. Thank you!

Addicted

After discovering this grassroots, real news that matters station, I can’t live without it. I listen to less podcasts as a result because I never want to stop listening in the middle of a report. I’ve learned about so many helpful, informative books and organizations to join and actually contribute to cultivating a cohesive, thriving community and make change for all for good.
I am much better informed and educated on the current reality of global and local politics.
Thank you with all my heart.

An essential app

KPFA is an essential news and culture radio station. Beyond that, it’s a Bay Area (and international) institution whose existence is a bulwark against corporate media and all of the problems and issues it raises.
KPFA’s launch of this app is something to be celebrated — and downloaded!

Thank you!

This is a fantastic tool and is a little more consistent than using the web browser on my phone. OK it’s a lot more consistent.
