Love the ability to listen to SWR3 over my iPhone. Listened to this station all the time when I lived in Stuttgart in the 80’s.

Grown up in the Black Forest listening to the Popshop and SWF3, now living in the Northern US since 1992 lost my connection to the Radiostation initially until Radio Garden came and now the APP. 62 years old still listening to Pop music. Especially sometimes on longer mountain bike rides. Greetings von Karsten
