| NPR: Day to Day |
 |
| Listen to NPR's Day to Day at noon Monday through Friday. |
KACU-FM, has joined other key public radio stations throughout the nation, programming a new NPR
weekday radio newsmagazine. Day to Day is a one-hour program conceived by the creators of the
leading morning and afternoon radio newsmagazines Morning Edition and All Things Considered
to serve listeners in the middle of the day. The program is based at NPR's new west coast
facility in Los Angeles and will be hosted by principal NPR correspondent, Alex Chadwick.
"Day to Day will give listeners NPR substance with a twist: smart, funny, thoughtful, quirky
material, great break and refresher in the middle of a busy day," said Alex Chadwick. "Listeners
will hear updates on key news, original stories, and provocative ideas about the attitudes and
trends that shape our world."
The program will deliver NPR news and information content in shorter segments, with more stories in
the hour, important news updates, and intriguing features and commentaries. There will be familiar
voices from an array of NPR News correspondents and commentators as well as contributions from content
partner Slate Magazine, station-based reporters, independents, and fresh new voices.
Chadwick has spent more than two decades in a variety of roles at NPR, both on and off the air.
He is currently host and chief writer for the award-winning series "Radio Expeditions," about
the naturalworld and its different cultures, co-produced with the National Geographic Society.
Chadwick came to NPR in 1977 as host and producer of NPR?s morning news service and has hosted and
prepared reports for publicradio's most listened to newsmagazines, Morning Edition, and All Things
Considered, as well as Weekend Edition. He has reported from Central and South America, Europe, Africa,
and Asia. Chadwick recently earned the Sigma Delta Chi Award for investigative reporting and has twice
won the Lowell Thomas Award for foreign reporting, along with an Emmy, a Peabody, and the Robert F.
Kennedy Award for reporting on< the disadvantaged. |

| Speaking of Faith airs early Sunday mornings. |
Speaking of Faith, a weekly one-hour program that is unique in public radio, connecting news events
to issues of faith will air on KACU Sunday mornings at 6 a.m. beginning September 28th. Produced by
Minnesota Public Radio and distributed by Public Radio International, the series is hosted by noted
journalist and theologian Krista Tippett.
This is a wonderfully compelling series. Speaking of Faith creates an excellent forum where issues of
theology and ethics can be examined in the context of current events, topics that are all very much on
the minds of thoughtful people throughout our country. Krista Tippett's approach to timely and sensitive
issues is masterful, always inclusive, always respectful.
Speaking of Faith explores topics and perspectives of faith through intelligent conversation and evocative
sound and music. It reaches beyond the basic tenets of the world's religions to reveal how perspectives of
faith can illuminate critically important issues ‹ from how nations wage war to how families raise
their children.
Krista Tippett artfully engages her guests at a personal level, and then listens as they articulate
the important ideas and the deep, relevant perspectives that faith can add to private and public life.
Throughout each absorbing hour, Tippett weaves together a thought-provoking blend of religious
conversations as well as music and voices in the news.
Speaking of Faith is produced by Minnesota Public Radio and is distributed nationally by Public Radio
International. It is made possible in part by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting.
