KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Recent controversy surrounding the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity has put Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach in the nation's limelight. Today, we get an update on the 4-month-old committee. Then, in the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, we get a masterclass from meteorologist Reed Timmer on the science behind severe weather and the adrenaline rush he gets from chasing extreme storms.

Reed Timmer speaks about extreme storm chasing at the Linda Hall Library at 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 14. For more information, visit LindaHall.org.
