NPR has selected former Wikimedia Foundation chief Katherine Maher to lead the network through an era of declining broadcast listenership, financial uncertainty and technological turbulence.

    Agreed. IMHO, the best way to access their content is to use their podcast feeds and the podcast feeds of your local affiliates. They even post the hourly new updates every hour on the hour.

    I also find that NPR One is a good way to discover NPR podcasts feeds worth subbing to. It’s also buggy, but it basically just plays the hourly news, then shuffles their podcast feeds from them and their affiliates over the 24 hours.

      Yep that’s exactly what I do. It works but it’s kind of convoluted when they could just make fix their app.

      I really like the live affiliate streams too and the podcast thing doesn’t work for that so you either have to wrestle with the NPR app or hope the affiliate has some sort of way to listen to it on a browser or in your music player which is hit and miss.
