Love the WFPK Playlist

I use this App at home . Streaming WFPK from an iPAD to a Vintage Pioneer Stereo Receiver. The live playlist provides me with a running Display of Songs and Artist.

Moved away but still get to partake

Thank you!! I feel so at home when I’m making a new home outside of the Louisville Metro.

Excellent App

This is a great app for local Kentucky news, music, & even perusing old podcasts that are no longer produced but local to just Louisville/KY. There are also some NPR podcasts on here.

I depend on LPM!

I often travel to places just out of reach of WFPL. I love to stream the app if there is a chance I might go out of range. It is easy to use to stream over my car speakers. THANKS!!
