Okay, so I've been using the NPR app, and it's actually pretty solid for my needs. The biggest win? I can download episodes of *Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!* and *Planet Money* before I hop on BART. No more buffering issues when I'm underground, which is a huge deal. The layout is clean, the graphs are actually readable, and I can easily find local and national programs. Plus, the auto-playlist feature is a lifesaver. It's like having a curated news feed that I can actually control. Data nerd approved. I haven't even dug into the API capabilities yet, but the fact that it has them is a good sign. Seriously, for anyone who wants to stay informed and entertained on the go, this is a must-have. It's like Tableau but for normal humans, you know?
