Featured KBCS Programs

The Morning Blend

The Morning Blend is a live, daily, community-centered, hour-long news and music program. From Jim Hightower to Ry Cooder, this hour is truly a world of music and ideas. Tune in and wake up.

Weekdays at 7 a.m.

The Restless Nest

The Restless Nest is what KBCS commentator Ann Hedreen calls the phase she’s currently in: restless in a mostly good way, now that her kids are in college. Restless Nest is a conversation where all of us find meaning--through politics, culture, community, and family--no matter how empty, restless or full our nests.

Tuesdays at 7:50 a.m., Thursdays at 4:54 p.m., Fridays at 4:55 p.m., and via podcast

Jazz Kaleidoscope

A weekly exploration of the diversity of jazz over the last 50 years, from familiar classics through 21st century innovations. John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and other giants of modern jazz make regular appearances, alongside creative new jazz and excellent artists from many eras playing a wide range of styles.
