We recently completed the changeover to a new, much improved audio management system, including a new program scheduling computer, file servers, workstations and more secure and reliable IT networking between our studios in Garden City and Amarillo. This work involved thousands of audio files and lines of programming code, so you may hear some glitches in our programming as we "burn-in" the system in the coming days. We apologize for any disruptions to your listening. If you have questions or problems to report, please contact HPPR's Technical Director, Alex Fregger (afregger@hppr.org).

KJJJP-FM 105.7 in Amarillo is currently operating at 10% power due to problems with its main transmitter. Engineers are currently working to resolve the problem. If you listen to 105.7 FM and are experiencing reception problems, you can always listen to its programming through the streaming player above.

Neither Wolf Nor Dog Next Selection in 2021 Spring Read

The third book in the 2021 Spring Read – Cultures in a Common Land is Neither Wolf Nor Dog: On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder by author Ken Nerburn.  In it, two men, one white and one Indian, one middle aged, one an elder, struggle to find a common voice despite their disparate experiences and world views. Dan, a Native American elder, leads Nerburn through reservation life and the majestic western Dakotas deep into the world of Indian towns and forgotten roads that inspire memories of Ghost Dances and Sitting Bull. Readers glimpse and learn of Dan’s world through the eyes of Jumbo, a 400-pound mechanic and  Annie, an eighty-year-old Lakota woman living in a log cabin with no running water. The book has been called “an unlikely cross between On the Road and Black Elk Speaks,” and it carries us through the myths and stereotypes of the Native American experience.
