This American Life This American Life
Airs Sundays at 3 p.m.

This American Life is a weekly show that belongs in no other format but its own.  It is a collection of stories centered around a theme, some tales sidesplitting and some sad, but all interesting or surprising.  Ira Glass hosts the show and weaves together the stories into several acts.

This week: Georgia Rambler. In the 1970s a journalist named Charles Salter wrote a column for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution called "Georgia Rambler." He traveled to towns all over the state of Georgia, in search of the most interesting people to interview. This week...we try it for ourselves.

Monday-Friday at 12 p.m.
Monday-Thursday at 8:00 p.m.


Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin is an exciting daily radio program that delves into a wide assortment of topics in classical music. Each five-program series builds off a single theme ranging from composer biographies to explorations of various cultures, musical styles, and time periods.

This week: William Schuman. We'll survey the life and explore the compositions of the great dean of American music in the 20th century, William Schuman, in celebration of his 100th birthday.

 Growing on the High Plains
Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. and Saturdays at 8:35 a.m.

Each week Skip Mancini takes us on a trip to the garden where we explore the endless possibilities of foodstuff, flowers, and other flora found Growing on the High Plains.

This week: Poppies 2. The care and feeding of poppies is amazingly simple in our part of the world, so why not put splashes of color from annuals and perennials in your garden?
