In June, Liasson will fill us in on the current situation, provide perspective, and talk about the Mid-Term Elections. The evening will include a Q&A session as well as the opportunity to meet Liasson after the presentation. Liasson s reports are regularly heard on Morning Edition and All Things Considered. She has been with NPR since 1985 as a reporter and newscaster. Liasson has received numerous awards for her reporting, including the White House Correspondents Association s Merriman Smith Award for her daily reporting. This evening is also our annual Thank You event acknowledging volunteers and underwriters who have worked with the station in the past year.

Tune in Mondays at 10 p.m. on KSFC to hear lectures and debates by experts and public figures. Starting in April, listeners will be able to hear The Daily at 5 p.m. This program began as a podcast created by The New York Times. Each episode is a deep analysis of one or two of the day s top news topics. Host Michael Barbaro leads a two-way discussion with other Times reporters, incorporating interviews and related audio to create a fascinating half hour of radio. SPR General Manager Cary Boyce says, One of the defining characteristics of public radio is taking the time to tell a story and research the facts. The Daily is a worthy addition to that commitment. Other changes to the KSFC lineup include Inland Journal moving to Thursday at 3:30 p.m. and the return of more public affairs programs at 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday in place of a repeat hour of On Point.
