Inspiration can come from many sources – great works of music, art and literature, spiritual experiences, witnessing the good works of others, biographies of leaders and innovators, rousing speeches and talks, travels to new lands.
Here at High Plains Public Radio we work to bring you moments of inspiration – great and small – each day, across the year. They may come from …
- The stories you hear on All Things Considered.
- StoryCorps interviews on Morning Edition.
- The history behind great classical works on Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin.
- Music you’ve never heard before on Open Range or Songbirds.
- The depth of news and analysis at HPPR.org.
- Informed conversations on the Radio Readers Book Club.
- Live, local music at a Living Room Concert.
- A painting displayed at our Garden City studios as part of the Friday Art Walks.
- That oh-so-perfect tune aired on High Plains Morning.
