This Week on KPR Presents
Mother's Day
Celebrate Mother's Day as KPR Presents "All Mom Radio," a radio special from Hearing Voices. "Travels with Mom" follows Larry Massett and his mother to the Tybee Island, Georgia of today and of the 1920's, as recalled by Mrs. Massett. Writer Beverly Donofrio joins her mom for "Thursday Night Bingo," produced by Dave Isay of Sound Portraits. In Nancy Updike's "Mubarak and Margy," a gay man returns home to care for his mom, and to the "cure" his family plans for his homosexuality. And comedian Amy Borkowsky shares her hilarious phone "Messages from Mom."
Coming May 18th on KPR Presents: Chief Justice John Roberts |

Jazz in the Night M-F 9:00 PM - 12:00 PM From the traditional jazz of Louis Armstrong to the best in today's new jazz from young artists like Eldar Djangirov, from swinging singers to cooking Latin jazz, with plenty of bebop and ballads to boot, Jazz in the Night brings you a wide array of great jazz every Monday through Friday evening from 9 to midnight (10 to midnight on Wednesdays) with your host Bob McWilliams.
Every week, there's a feature CD that you'll have a chance to win, and every Wednesday from 10 to 11 p.m., Bob presents four of the best new discs on the "New Release Spotlight." And your requests are more than welcome.
