Listen Live Player on the KPR Website
Use any device with a browser and an internet connection to access the KPR website (the website you're looking at right now!). Click the big red button at the top left of the screen and begin listening.
If you're experiencing trouble playing the KPR stream and/or on-demand audio:
- try using a different browser, such as Firefox
- if you cannot get the stream to play and you've tried multiple browsers, the stream could be blocked by an anti-virus software. You can correct this problem by adding kansaspublicradio.org to the list of authorized websites in the anti-virus software's configuration.
- if none of these options help, then check out our audio help & FAQ page.
