Over a lifetime of KQED; 🌻 “🔝of the MARK” ✅

Are used to listen to morning edition on the way to school, and I loved the personal opinion and pieces that listeners could relate to kqed as I listen to it on the way to school in my household days when it was playing on 88.5 FM here in San Francisco. Then, over the years, I would always catch Science Friday with Ira Flatow, and now I still like to listened Robert Krulwich, who used to be on Radiolab journalist who still churns-out scientific loot now and then on Saturday’s and Sunday’s. Last, but not least, I do love the radio puzzles, and will short with NYC; more than that I always look forward to wait wait don’t tell me as it airs on Chicago’s, Public radio, PRI, and then again there is also this American life which will always be a quaking, moving masterpiece of American technology meets drama, meets reverie and sly, witty appeal [And A+ / applause].

News!

I like this station because it provides you with information you would not normally hear on other stations! I listened to it ,before, I head out on the road, to find out, how the traffic is moving. Also? I listings to the different guest that appear on the program sharing how they, were able to write a book.
This stations gives points of view that is thought provoking and enlightening!

Great app

Nicely designed.
Request for enhancement: please consider adding the actual sleep timer to the playing screen with the countdown showing in small font beneath the sleepy face icon. It’s happened a few times that in my half asleep daze I can’t remember if I set the timer to 15 minutes or 30 minutes. There’s no way to check for that without resetting the timer completely. Thank you
