RADIO
New programs
Public radio station KUAR-FM, 89.1, now flying under the banner of Little Rock Public Radio, plans to add seven new shows while shifting the air times of others, effective Monday.
"Ozarks at Large," an hourlong newsmagazine produced by Fayetteville public radio station KUAF-FM, will air at 7 p.m. weekdays. It displaces the second airing Monday-Thursday of NPR's "Fresh Air," which will move to 11 p.m. each weekday.
NPR shows "Code Switch," which the network describes as "fearless conversations about race, culture and identity hosted by journalists of color," and "Life Kit," advice from experts "to help you get it together," will air at 9 p.m. Thursday and noon Saturday, moving "The Splendid Table," to 10 p.m. Sunday.
"Radiolab," airing at noon Sunday, is an independently produced podcast from New York radio station WNYC in which hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser "ask deep questions and use investigative journalism to get the answers. A given episode might whirl you through science, legal history, and into the home of someone halfway across the world. The show is known for innovative sound design, smashing information into music." "The Moth Radio Hour" moves to 9 p.m. Sunday.
"Think," at 10 p.m. weekdays, from Texas public radio station KERA, features journalist Krys Boyd in conversation with newsmakers from the United States and across the globe.
"The Middle," 8 p.m. Thursday, is billed as "a non-partisan, live national talk show specifically focused on elevating the voices of the people in the geographic and political middle of America."
"Embodied," airing at 11 p.m. Sunday, comes from North Carolina Public Radio, with host Anita Rao exploring "our brains and bodies that touches down in taboo territory."
Station General Manager Jonathan Seaborn said in a statement that the changes follow a listener survey released earlier this year. "Your voices were heard loud and clear, and your input has been instrumental in shaping the new lineup we are thrilled to announce," he said.
Also on the docket: "The Arkansas News Wrap," an all-new weekly round-table discussion produced in collaboration with KUAF and Jonesboro station KASU-FM.
