Jean Kinney is a local author whose writing career was inspired by a story she heard on NPR twenty years ago. Jean is still an avid listener of public radio and a big fan, in particular, of WNKU's Kathy Costello and Katie Laur. Recently, Jean wrote a blog about her long-time listening relationship with Katie and her program, Music From the Hills of Home, as well as why she thinks Katie is an NLT.
Deep within the catacombs of the historic Taft Theatre lies a cavernous ballroom, heretofore unseen by the average theater-goer. Until this year, most people weren't even aware such a room existed (rumor has it there is even a shooting range just behind one of the doors within the ballroom).

The inaugural Bunbury Music Festival takes place July 13th - 15th at Sawyer Point and Yeatman's Cove.

Our friends at Production Simple in Louisville have just announced they are bringing Mumford & Sons along with special guest, Dawes, to the Great Lawn at Louisville's Waterfront Park on August 13th. This will be the only show in the Midwest with this lineup!
Yesterday, Cincinnati's Walk the Moon released their self-titled major-label debut. Of course, lots of folks have been taking notice of this band for at least the last 18 months.
We've said it before and we'll say it again. WNKU listeners are the absolute best! Thanks to everyone who made a contribution during our fiscal year-end campaign. We really appreciate all of the support you've shown this station.
