There\u2019s <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/classical-kusc/id447665086?ls=1&amp;mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">an app</a>.</p>\n<p>He\u2019s hosting right now.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Correct. Alternately, stream it from <a href=\"http://www.kusc.org/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</p>\n<p>KUSC is <em>amazing</em>. Even when in 6th grade we were tasked to listen to an hour of classical a week for some assignment, it was like <strong><em>meh</em></strong>. Because (&amp; prolly because ad stations only exist to gather an audience) it was just sedate background music for dental waiting rooms and &ldquo;classy&rdquo; stores.</p>\n<p>KUSC really shows off how much awesome, vital, powerful stuff there&rsquo;s been over the centuries. Plus the DJs will usually say something interesting on the intro, the outro, or both, that really does enhance your appreciation of the piece. That is when they&rsquo;re not dropping dry-as-hell humor bombs.</p>\n<img src=\"/media/tumblr_luy9uwkp0L1qdtlwmo1_400_cb20758ba527.jpg\" />", "thumbnail_url": "https://kontextmaschine.com/media/tumblr_luy9uwkp0L1qdtlwmo1_400_cb20758ba527.jpg", "thumbnail_width": 300, "thumbnail_height": 387}
