I love the content but in the last few weeks it just stops playing quite often. i have a strong and stable wi fi connection, and the app is updated, so I'm not sure why it's glitching every 15 minutes or so. it's quite annoying, to the point that I now just stream from the website.

They want their app back… Everything is based on the awful logo. Hard to get beyond that tbh.

Station management should take a look at WFMU’s playlist automation. I’d help fundraise for it!
