Greetings!
What a wonderful experience we've had hosting StoryCorps in Oklahoma City for the past few weeks! You can hear some of the interviews recorded during their visit here. The MobileBooth left yesterday, headed for its next stop in Waco, Texas, but we'll be bringing listeners more Oklahoma City stories over the next few months.

Thanks for subscribing to the KGOU e-Newsletter. Send feedback to the editor at membership@kgou.org.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Signal Expansion Update: Construction Begins in Ada
The antenna has been installed, and we're awaiting delivery of the transmitter for the repeater station KGOU is building in Ada. We've encountered some delays in equipment delivery which have forced us to push back the expected completion date, but if all goes as planned and the weather cooperates, we hope to have KOUA, 91.9 FM, on the air in a few months' time.

KGOU completed construction of a translator station in Chickasha last September, and is doing preliminary work on a repeater station in Woodward to be constructed early in 2011. You can read more about our signal expansion projects in our capital campaign pages.

Thanksgiving Recipes, Specials 'All About the Food'
photo by Nicholas DynanLooking for ways to liven up or lighten up your Thanksgiving feast? We've got recipes and even step-by-step assistance! NPR.org has recipes, including Mama Stamberg's famous cranberry relish. Here & Now's chefs have some "mom-inspired" Thanksgiving recipes, including the beautiful bread pudding pictured, and re-imagined vegetarian dishes.

Is your turkey too dry? Your gravy lumpy? You can turn to Lynne Rossetto Kasper of The Splendid Table. She'll take listeners' live "kitchen helpline" calls and talk with her guests, international chef and food advocate Jamie Oliver, international culinary innovator José Andrés, wine author Joshua Wesson, and restaurant guides Jane and Michael Stern. "Turkey Confidential" starts at 10 a.m. Thanksgiving Day. Lynne has recipes, too, for an Italian-style Thanksgiving dinner.

The Moth Radio Hour Airs Fridays in December
Headliner ShowcaseKGOU's Friday Night Live Headliner Showcase features the excellent storytelling of The Moth Radio Hour. Fridays at 11 p.m. during the month of December, we'll hear five brand new shows.  It kicks off Dec. 3 with comedian Colin Quinn, who was tapped for a command performance for Robert DeNiro; the performance tanked, but the retelling is superb! Read all about it and the other shows coming up on Headliner Showcase

Home or Nursing Home ~ NPR News Investigation
Matthew Harp of Decatur, GAIn the past, deciding who lives in nursing homes was seen as a matter of health. Now, a new viewpoint is emerging in which determining who resides in a nursing home -- and who goes home -- is a civil rights issue. Federal policy, including the new health reform law and a U.S. Supreme Court decision, argues that people have a right to receive long-term care at home. Next week, NPR News presents a multi-part series by investigative correspondent Joseph Shapiro, airing on the newsmagazines, Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

NPR Special Series: Sibling Stories
photo by Benjamin Earwicker/sxcIf you're one of the 80 percent of Americans who has a sibling, you know a short time spent together is all it can take for you to get under each other's skins. What is it about this relationship that can be so volatile? The relationship between siblings is likely to be the longest of your life: longer than with your parents, your spouse, or your children. NPR News takes a look at the unique relationships among sisters and brothers in a five-part series on Morning Edition all this week.

To See or Not to See? That Is the Movie Question

They'll have insights into blockbusters and little indie films alike to help you decide what to see in the theatre and which movies can wait. Read reviews and hear interviews at NPR.org.
