KEXP is a staple for music lovers in the Pacific Northwest. They are known for their commitment to the local music scene with their regular feature of local acts in their daily programming.

According to KEXP, they are now offering a podcast of full-length songs by fourteen Pacific Northwest artists, making it the first radio station to offer a music podcast of this scope. This effort compliments their excellent online radio offering.

On the podcast you can hear bands like the Blue Scholars, a hip-hop group that makes its Seattle roots known.

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

Fans of Seattle radio station KEXP 90.3/91.7 FM now can listen to local artists and live in-studio performances on their MP3 players.

KEXP, known for its unique mix of music ranging from rock to hip-hop to country, offers podcasts -- a convenient option for listeners on the go.

"We know that people can't necessarily tune in live all the time," said John Richards, host of the KEXP "Morning Show" and producer of "Audioasis," a weekly program featuring local musicians. "So we hope to create an environment where they listen to what they want, when they want it."
