 A New Year, A New Look
The KGOU e-Newsletter has a new look! We know that KGOU listeners are on the go, and many e-Newsletter subscribers are reading our semi-monthly missives on their smartphones. This new look is more mobile-friendly and easier to read on all devices. Let us know how the makeover works on your mobile device -- email us with compliments. Or if it makes our, ahem, font look too big, we want to know that, too, so we can make alterations.

New Limited-Run Program: Invisibilia Joins Sunday Lineup
 Invisibilia is about the unseen forces that control human behavior -- things like ideas, beliefs, assumptions, and thoughts. Co-hosted by Lulu Miller and Alix Spiegel, who helped create Radiolab and This American Life, Invisibilia interweaves narrative storytelling and fascinating new psychological and brain science, in a way that ultimately makes you see your own life differently.
Listen to a preview of the show, and if you're on social media, connect via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. KGOU will air Invisibilia's six-week pilot series, beginning Sunday, Jan. 11. It will be the Sunday Radio Matinee offering each week through mid-February, at 12 noon. Check it out and let us know your thoughts at programming@kgou.org. |
