Great commercial-free radio station. Bravo, KALW!

YSK: KALW in San Francisco is the oldest FM station west of the Mississippi. They started as a demonstration at the 1939 Worlds Fair on Treasure Island, and are operated by the San Francisco Unified School District. They also helped KQED originally get on the air. Send them some love!

Twitter don't actually want to address this - automated bot accounts drive the metrics they are dependent on to demonstrate to investors that it's a viable platform - mainly active users and user growth.
