Listen To ‘Oleander’ Commentary This Saturday On 'Open Range'
HPPR listeners can now enjoy a Prairie Home Companion-esque monologue during the second hour of Stephen Johnson’sOpen Range.
Oleander - Thoughts From Here are four- to five-minute commentaries that will be heard on the first and third Saturdays of the month in the 3 o’clock hour (CT) of Open Range. [THAT'S THIS SATURDAY!] The program bills itself as “regional commentary by a fictional Kansan, William Jennings Bryan Oleander of Here, Kansas.”
It continues, “Oleander attempts to tease out the essence of place. It springs from the mind of authorThomas Fox Averill, anO. Henry Award winner and Professor Emeritus of English at Washburn University of Topeka. For more than 25 years, Oleander has become a tradition that honors and examines life in Kansas and on the High Plains.”
Don’t miss it.
