Forget the Rabbit Ears, We're Going Digital (Mostly)
In the bygone era of rotary phones and leg warmers, snagging NPR meant wrestling with a clunky radio and an antenna that looked like a deranged metal butterfly. Thankfully, those days are over (mostly). Here's the lowdown on your NPR-listening options in Denver:
- Cruisin' Down the Dial: Diehard traditionalists rejoice! You can catch NPR on two Colorado Public Radio (CPR) stations:
- 90.1 FM for your news and informative fix.
- KVOD 90.1 FM for a more classical bent (because who says public radio can't be sophisticated, right?).
- App Attack!: Download the CPR or NPR One app and listen to your favorite shows on the go. Warning: excessive knowledge absorption on public transportation may lead to interesting conversations with strangers (or awkward silences, depending on your social skills).
Pro Tip: Bookmark the CPR website (

Feeling fancy? Here are some other ways to indulge your NPR habit:
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
- Smart Speaker Savvy: Got a Google Home or Alexa? Just say, "Hey Google, play NPR" or "Alexa, tune in to Colorado Public Radio," and let the dulcet tones of Terry Gross fill your living room.
- Satellite Radio: If you're a subscriber to a service like SiriusXM, you might have access to NPR programming on a dedicated channel. Check your provider's guide for details (because nobody likes surprises when it comes to their daily dose of Ira Glass).
Remember: With so many ways to listen, there's no excuse to miss out on the intellectual stimulation and existential pondering that NPR provides (with a healthy dose of humor, of course).
