Membership Campaign Continues (Quietly)

The on-air portion of our pledge drive has ended, but you can still pledge online.

The on-air portion of our Spring Membership Campaign has ended, but you can still help HPPR close the gap on its goal of $100,000 and 2,000 active members by pledging here now!

In order to keep our on-air fundraising at a minimum, it's vital that HPPR can best the national average and meet its goals for the month of April. 

What's the significance of one in ten? 
One out of every ten public radio listeners takes the next step and supports public radio.  This average isn't unique only to HPPR, it's the rate of support that has sustained public radio stations around the nation for years.  However, the average of one in ten has very different outcomes for different stations ...

Making a Way for Others ...

Major Gifts make HPPR sustainable today, while creating a path for future listeners to find public radio years from now.

In every organization there are several individuals that take it upon themselves to make an impact that not only benefits them, but everyone in their community. For HPPR, these individuals are our Pioneer Members.

Pioneer Members contribute $1,000 or more annually to HPPR. Major gifts of support above the average contribution level help create a path for future listener-members to find public radio and for HPPR to look beyond the present, to what’s next in its service to the High Plains.

Going Black: The Legacy of Philly Soul Radio: Friday at 7pm

Legendary Philadelphia disc jockey Georgie Woods

The story of Black radio in Philadelphia is actually the story of Black music, of civil rights and progress in the African-American community, and of how the radio medium has changed in the last century.

Today, a lot of people don't know what the term "Black radio" means. But starting in the 1950s, Black radio used to be one of the most important institutions in the Black community, not only in Philadelphia, but in cities across the U.S.

Mary Chapin Carpenter's 'Songs From The Movie' this week on High Plains Morning

Mary Chapin Carpenter's new release is a re-invention of 10 of her classic songs, newly recorded with a 63 piece orchestra and a 15 member choir.  

In talking about the process, Carpenter says “Singing with an orchestra is very different from singing with a band. I had to learn to ride the enormous wave of sound an orchestra produces but not over sing at the same time. Finding a quiet voice while still conveying strength was the way in.”

We will listen to 'Songs From The Movie' this week on High Plains Morning.

High Plains Morning Top 10 for 2013

I love lists-- all kinds of lists. 

Best of lists, worst of lists, stuff you have to see/hear/do before-you-die lists.  I also love making lists, but that’s really hard for me to trim down my list to a manageable size.  Here’s my attempt at a 2013 list of some of the best things (in my opinion) you’ve heard this year on High Plains Morning.  This list is by no means complete, and it is in no particular order.

New Music from Tim O'Brien and Darrell Scott on High Plainds Morning

I’ve been reading reviews, blogs and various posts about Tim O’Brien and Darrell Scott’s new record(their 2nd together), and they all seem to say roughly the same thing: “Why did you wait 13 years to put this out?!”  It was worth waiting for; the follow up to their Real Time release in 2000, this collection is split down the middle with 5 tunes by Tim, 5 by Darrell and 3 covers, including John Prine’s Paradise, featuring John singing harmony.  We will listen to Memories and Moments this week on High Plains Morning.

Private support like that which was raised last month, helps HPPR to lessen the gap left from steadily increasing cuts in funding from the state of Kansas and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
