When you launch the Public Radio Player, the first thing you see after the welcome screen is a list of Featured Live Stations. We put it there to keep your head from exploding by not showing you all 500 station streams at once. (If you actually want to try to explode your head, just tap the State button at the top of the screen for the full list.)
The latest list features music stations playing many genres, including rock, hip-hop, indie, jazz, bluegrass, classical, and folk. There’s news from stations large and small from East, West, North, and South. There’s a Spanish-language station, a Native American station, and a couple of community radio stations, too. And, of course, there’s our beloved REMIX Radio stream of particularly interesting public radio pieces.
So check out the newest arrivals to the Featured Live Stations spotlight. And let us know who you want included in future rotations.
(By the way, if you want to find a station that was previously featured, look them up by State. If you don’t know the state, post a comment and we’ll help.)

Not related to this post but… two comments/questions: 1) how can I set the default live station to be my PBS station when I start up the app? It always defaults to something not so close (my local station is available in the app). And 2) it’s possible to “edit” the “more” screen to “configure” the links/buttons on the bottom of the app — but my customizations aren’t saved after an iPhone reboot.
