Quality & Consistency
As a Chicago transplant, learning about what is going on every day/week in the city is invaluable. WBEZ makes it easy and accessible, which is why they were the first NPR station I pledged to as a member. My only regret is that I can’t give more!
Great source of news
Tuning into Wbez at 9am helps me start my day with reliable news. The app is a great resource for accessing local chicago news
Staying in touch with Chicago from LA
Even though I don't live in Chicago, I like to keep up with Chicago news. Using this app, I can listen to local news, and NPR programs without worrying too much about what time it is two time zones away in Chicago. I can't quite figure out if the news that's inserted before the beginning of a show is from the time that show broadcasted or is completely up-to-date to right now. I think it might be the latter

Ad stops streaming
Seems that there’s an on-again, off-again issue with the ad stopping all streaming. Lately, I can’t use the app at all to listen.
