  • I start every day with it

    Sometimes NPR One will play VPM’s local news highlights automatically, but I can’t rely on it, so this is the first thing I play on my way to work every morning. Grateful for quality local news in an audio format and wish it was longer.

  • Local news quick

    With the loss of more and more local newspapers, I only get national news. Great to have this outlet to know what is going on in Va.
