“As a community-based arts therapist working with disadvantaged
children and their families, I’m in my car a lot. I’d been flipping
back and forth from NPR to various stations, not expecting
anything good, and paused on an unfamiliar station for a
Talking Heads song, followed by a beautiful folk rock song I’d
never heard before, and then a song in French. I was amazed
at the diversity and have been listening to KEXP ever since.”
– Wendy in Shoreline
“Although I live in a large metropolis it fails miserably at feeding
our musical needs. KEXP saved my musical soul. All the music I
have purchased is by artists I have been exposed to through you.
Thank you from the bottom of my Midwest heart.”
– Laurie in Chicago
“I have not found anything like KEXP in my city. There are a
substantial number of KEXP stickers here in San Francisco! I
see them everywhere I go. I have one on my bike and every so
often I’m locking it up when someone approaches me and
says, ‘Dude … KEXP!’ and we instantly strike up a conversation.
You guys connect people all over the country!”
– Phil in San Francisco
“Since that first Internet click, you’ve had me hook, line and sinker!”
– Dallas in New Jersey
“After spending four years in China, I recently relocated to Korea.
Whilst living behind the Great Firewall, my only sources of
guaranteed impeccable new music were your podcasts. Now
that I have been released from censorship, I am able to enjoy
KEXP streaming at all hours of the day. When KEXP comes on in
the morning, I always experience an instinctive inner jubilation
that says, ‘That is the voice of freedom!’”
– Natalie in Korea
“KEXP gets everything right: the music, the DJs, the in-studio
performances, the website, the whole shebang. Plus, I can listen
to The Morning Show online here in England and think about my
brother and sister-in-law listening to the same show right there
in Seattle — and that makes the world feel a little cozier to me.”
– Jessica in Brighton, England
“I love music. KEXP is the most comprehensive station on the
dial in Seattle; I can listen to world beats, American roots,
contemporary singer-songwriters and more. What I really
appreciate is the availability to listen to KEXP anywhere in
the world … with an Internet connection. Because of these
benefits, I Power KEXP.” – Sommer in New Zealand.
