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 |

The Retro Cocktail Hour Saturday 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Kansas Public Radio's Retro Cocktail Hour is our weekly nod to the Space Age Pop revival. Here you'll find vintage recordings from the dawn of the Hi-Fi Era - imaginative, light-hearted (and sometimes light-headed) pop stylings designed to underscore everything from the backyard barbecue to the high-tech bachelor pad. Darrell Brogdon serves up two hours of incredibly strange music on Kansas Public Radio, so grab a cocktail shaker and join us for The Retro Cocktail Hour. Music Programming on KPR - Retro Cocktail Hour playlist. Printable playlist|
