Music Programming on KPR Opera is My Hobby Friday 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM One of the longest running shows on American radio, Opera Is My Hobby
debuted on Kansas Public Radio (then KANU) in September 1952, during
the very first week the station was on the air!
Every week, Dr. James Seaver selects recordings from his vast
collection of LPs, CDs, 78s and even wax cylinder recordings for
programs spotlighting legendary performers of the past, as well as up- and-coming singers. Recent shows have included tributes to tenor
Jussi Bjoerling and soprano Elisabeth Schwartzkopf, highlights from
the Victor Blue Label recordings from the early 20th-century, plus
excerpts from Mozart's The Magic Flute and Johann Strauss's Die
Fledermaus.
Classical Music in the Morning M-F 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Kansas Public Radio provides local classical music programming weekdays from 9:00am to 3:00pm and 6:00pm to 9:00pm, in addition to such weekly offerings as Opera Is My Hobby and St. Paul Sunday.
In addition, our programming is often spiced with live musical performances from KPR's Live Performance Studio!

The Retro Cocktail Hour Saturday 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Kansas Public Radio's Retro Cocktail Hour is our weekly nod to the Space Age Pop revival. Here you'll find vintage recordings from the dawn of the Hi-Fi Era - imaginative, light-hearted (and sometimes light-headed) pop stylings designed to underscore everything from the backyard barbecue to the high-tech bachelor pad. Darrell Brogdon serves up two hours of incredibly strange music on Kansas Public Radio, so grab a cocktail shaker and join us for The Retro Cocktail Hour. Trail Mix Sunday 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM Trail Mix brings you the best in yesterday's and today's singer-songwriters, spiced with Americana, alternative country, folk-rock, bluegrass, traditional folk, and Celtic music. From Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell to Doc Watson and Alison Krauss, it's all on Trail Mix. Jazz in the Night M-F 9:00 PM - 12:00 PM From the traditional jazz of Louis Armstrong to the best in today's new jazz from young artists like Eldar Djangirov, from swinging singers to cooking Latin jazz, with plenty of bebop and ballads to boot, Jazz in the Night brings you a wide array of great jazz every Monday through Friday evening from 9 to midnight (10 to midnight on Wednesdays) with your host Bob McWilliams.
Every week, there's a feature CD that you'll have a chance to win, and every Wednesday from 10 to 11 p.m., Bob presents four of the best new discs on the "New Release Spotlight." And your requests are more than welcome.
