For this Independence Day weekend, join us for a musical salute to America. Composer Peter Boyer will conduct his "Ellis Island: The Dream of America," performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra. We'll also hear voices from the Ellis Island Oral History Project. "Ellis Island: Dream of America" can be heard at 8:00 Sunday evening.
Kaye starts her weekends the same way you do: with Weekend Edition, Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, This American Life, and The Moth Radio Hour. She started at Kansas Public Radio in 2001; in 2006, she became the producer of our weekly public affairs program, KPR Presents, which changed its name in 2025 to Prairie Journal. In her spare time, she loves to read, travel, and attend theater.
