  • Always enjoy listening.

    I live 800 miles from downstate IL where I grew up, and always enjoy listening to KTRS on the app. The podcasts are great for those times when I can't listen in realtime. I especially enjoy Jennifer and Wendy, John, Julie and Max, and Heidi, Josh and Kristen. Y'all bring me just a little bit closer to home.
