Simply the best

Been listening to WABE since I was a child (35yrs old now). Such a trusted source of fact based reporting about our state of Georgia and beyond to the USA and internationally. Tons of great programs, shout out Rose Scott on Closer Look and long reign Lois Reitzes.

WABE delivers great reporting

I love the quick access to news, Closer Look. If I miss it on the radio it’s right here.

Good App, Busy Interface

This is a good app but they keep loading it with visual clutter. I wish they would return to a cleaner interface.

Love the classical feed

The best choice for classical radio. Lots of variety. Listen to news and podcasts too of course, but use app for the music!
