Podcasts

If you have a smartphone, the most convenient way to listen to podcasts is on an app, like Apple Podcasts, Google Play, NPR One, Spotify or Stitcher. These and other podcast players allow you to subscribe to different podcasts so that you will be notified every time a new episode is released.

The majority of podcasts are free to listen. Subscribing to a podcast simply means that you will be notified about new episodes. You also have the option for new episodes to download automatically to your phone.

Search for KMUW in your podcast app, or for one of our podcasts by name:
