Public Radio App lets you resume ‘This American Life’ whenever you please
Monday, January 11th, 2010
at this time that you’ve got an NPR-lovin’ stereo in your bedroom, the only thing missing in your otherwise completely fulfilled life is an NPR application that enables you to listen to your favorite programs whenever, wherever. If we just rung your bell, you can at this time drift away and die happy. Available this very moment in the 100,000-strong App Store is the Public Radio App, which essentially acts as a DVR for the iconic station. Once fired up, the app can “pause and rewind public radio streams from NPR, PRI, APM and local public radio stations,” and there’s even an alarm clock setting that wakes you up with your favorite public radio stream. Unfortunately, on-demand streaming is still a pipe dream, but there’s nothing to stop these guys from adding that very feature in the next iteration. Go on — try and lay off the trigger. It’s not like that awfully low $2.99 price point is tempting or anything.
