Unmarked graves

Imagine that your loved one went missing and you never found out what happened to him or her. According to authorities, there are more than 10,000 unidentified bodies in the United States -- tucked away in morgues or buried in paupers' graves.  Reveal looks into "cold" cases of John and Jane Doe, and examines how disorganization and indifference on the part of state and local authorities can contribute to the problem. Reveal is KGOU's Sunday Radio Matinee Sept. 6 at noon.

Heads up, readers! The third book selection for Morning Edition's Book Club will be announced to listeners on Tuesday, Sept. 15. NPR's guest curator (an author) has chosen the next book, and NPR's social media sites will be discussing it for about a month after the announcement. Finally, the author of the selected book will be on Morning Edition later this fall for an on-air discussion. Tune in Sept. 15 to see which book is chosen!

If you listen to KGOU's live audio stream, you might have noticed we launched a new player on Aug. 18. The new player, designed by NPR Digital Services, is designed to make listening easier on mobile phones, and to allow the added feature of listening and browsing through pages on our website at the same time. We're asking for feedback. By our own experience we know the player doesn't work well with our anti-virus software here on campus.

On a related -- but not really -- note: we've experienced some outages with our stream lately, ranging from a few minutes to several hours. This is a server problem and is not related to the new player. We hope to get it straightened out soon. If you find that the stream is not working, please try our backup options.
