Our translator station serving St. Francis and Cheyenne County at 96.3 FM is off the air due to an air conditioning breakdown at its leased transmitter site, making it too hot for HPPR's equipment to operate. We are currently working to fix the situation. We apologize for the loss of service and ask listeners to tune to KZNK at 90.1 FM or listen on line through the player above or HPPR's mobile app.

Jingle Johns Do Double Duty As Singing Choir

Published December 15, 2020 at 5:14 AM CST

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Hoping to flush away our problems, an Indiana sanitation company had an idea.

(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "ELF")

WILL FERRELL: (As Buddy) The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)

INSKEEP: It's called the Jingle Johns. The company took 32 Porta-Johns and arranged them in rows like a choir. Animated faces on each one lip-sync as Christmas classics play. Come see the show. There's no line for the bathroom. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
