A Note From You...The WKMS ListenerDear Stephanie,
I spent part of yesterday afternoon setting up the new HD radio, with the long-distance FM antenna. Although I can pick up several stations, the only one I care to listen to is, of course, WKMS. We listened to the talk programs yesterday, and also listened to the music programs this morning. The reception and sound quality of both the talking and the music are great. Helen Roulston Helen was the lucky winner of the HD Radio drawing

Radio Lab is an experiential investigation that explores themes and ideas through a patchwork of people, sounds, and stories. Produced by WNYC and hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, Radio Lab is designed for listeners who demand skepticism but appreciate wonder; who are curious about the world, but also want to be moved and surprised! In each episode, Radio Lab experiments with sound and style allowing science to fuse with culture and information to sound like music. New episodes
