Smart Speaker
To tune into KUOW and NPR live, tell your smart speaker to "Play KUOW." (If you are listening via the Apple Home Pod, say "Play KUOW Radio.") You can also set up a morning routine (like a clock radio!) on your Alexa. After dismissing your morning alarm, you'll hear the date and the weather, followed by live news from KUOW and NPR.
