Celebrate the upcoming holiday season and the closing of fall with special programming, presented by KPR and produced by American Public Media.

Now approaching its third year, KPR’s Community Spotlight program continues to celebrate and uplift the incredible work of local organizations across Northeast, East-Central, and Southeast Kansas.

Former KANU host and Music Director, Rachel Hunter, has passed away. Her tenure at KANU spanned over 27 years, and she is remembered for sharing her love of classical music with countless Kansas listeners.

Public media is one of our most valuable resources in a democracy. In a world of paywalls and subscription services, Kansas Public Radio remains accessible to everyone in our region, regardless of their ability to pay. As you have likely heard, all federal funding for public broadcasting has been eliminated through an act of Congress. Public radio’s accessibility relies on your support now.

Two atomic terrors are taking over KPR's Cinema a Go-Go for our last in-person screening of the year at Lawrence's Liberty Hall. Join us on Friday, Nov. 14 for It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955) and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953).

KPR's day-long celebration of classical music returns! Plan your trip to the Lawrence Public Library on Oct. 24 for a day of concerts, all free and open to the public.

Join award-winning journalist, host of Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!, and KANU alumnus Bill Kurtis for the release of his new book, Whirlwind: My Life Reporting the News.

The KU-Mizzou football Border Showdown is returning, and the teams' hometown public radio stations are getting in on the action! You can join in too, starting Sept. 4.
