KQED

Meet the KQED iPhone app. We built it with your need-to-know, on-the-go lifestyle in mind. It's the best of KQED Public Radio, Television, and KQED.org content—in an easy to use format.

The app enables you to listen to KQED Public Radio wherever you are – including hourly newscasts, locally produced shows such as Forum and The California Report, and NPR favorites like Fresh Air and All Things Considered – both on demand and via live streaming.

The KQED iPhone app also makes it easy to read our popular local blogs including News Fix, Bay Area Bites, Capital Notes and KQED Arts. There's even an arts events calendar, so you won't miss another '80s zombie movie night in the park … or whatever it is you're into.

And because all work and no play is a terrible way to treat an iPhone, the app lets you watch Check, Please! Bay Area, KQED's restaurant review program, and QUEST, our exploration of California science and nature in and around the Bay Area, any time you want.

When you're out and about, the iPhone app also helps you keep track of member events and take advantage of KQED Perks. You’ll be surprised at how many discounts and special offers are nearby.
