KZNA-FM 90.5 serving northwest Kansas is operating at just 10% power using a back up transmitter while work continues to install a new transmitter. It is hoped that this work will completed on Thursday with KZNA back to its full 100,000 watts of power with a state of the art transmitter to serve the area for many years to come.
If you can't receive KZNA at its reduced power, you can listen via the digital stream directly above or on the HPPR mobile app. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

HPPR visits KOOP in Austin! (Thanks, Pearl!)

High Plains Public Radio | By Jenny Inzerillo

Published March 16, 2018 at 2:55 PM CDT

Today, the worlds of community radio and public radio collided in Texas. After years of streaming Pearl's General Store online (and years of prodding by mutual friends and colleagues that we should meet in person), I was finally able to stop by KOOP, the coolest community radio station in Austin, Texas (91.7 FM) to crash Pearl's show and share some favorite artists from SXSW music festival, Luck Reunion, and my new music bin. Thank you for having me, Pearl and everyone in the KOOP family!

Sheep Lectures (or How Making Art Helps Us Make Peace with Ourselves): Interview with ISMAY about the "Finding Lucinda" Film & Podcast

Jenny Inzerillo

Tracking down the origins of an artist isn't always easy, but Avery Hellman (ISMAY) did just that in their new podcast — and soon-to-be released documentary film — Finding Lucinda. The project researches the origins of Lucinda Williams as an emerging singer-songwriter. While the film is due for release this September, the companion podcast is out now (through the BGS Podcast Network). So we talked to ISMAY about their musical idol, their dual life as a farmer/artist, and what this odyssey revealed about their own journey as a songwriter.
