"Very grateful for the international coverage, especially national security and the war in Ukraine. The work of Tim Mak, Lauren Frayer, Joanna Kakissis, Frank Langfitt, Greg Myre, and others has all been outstanding. The pieces by Elissa Nadworny and the team who followed the children of the Kharkiv kindergarten class scattered around the world epitomizes the work of NPR — brilliant, moving, informative, and important."
— Leslie in Oklahoma City
"I pretty much keep KGOU on the radio all weekend, starting with Friday night's Funky Groove Show (crazy good !). I also especially like the Weekend Blues, Science Friday, evening Jazz, Putumayo, To the Best of Our Knowledge, and Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me!... And just anytime, I know I can tune in and see what's happening, and be presented with interesting and important programming."
