KNAU Insider prEview – July 21st, 2017
Garrison Keillor Returns To Flagstaff August 26th
Mark your calendars as KNAU is bringing Garrison Keillor back to Flagstaff on Saturday August 26th with a live performance at the Pepsi Amphitheater at Fort Tuthill Park in Flagstaff, AZ.

Two-plus hours of stories, love duets, Guy Noir, Cowboys, poetic outbursts, and their famous Singing Intermission at which the Eager & Able-Bodied stand and sing around the campfire.
Tickets are available here.

Special KNAU pricing of $125 for sections B, C, D rows 1-10 * (first come first served)
A few changes are coming to KNAU Weekends beginning July 22.

The new KNAU weekend schedule begins tomorrow along with the debut of The New Yorker Radio Hour, Saturday morning at 11.

And what a timely “get” for the program: Journalist Maggie Haberman of the New York Times. She’s been in the news this week as one of the reporters involved in the controversial NYT interview with the President in which he blasted Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The New Yorker Radio Hour repeats Sunday at noon on KNAU News/Talk.
In other changes, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me moves up an hour to ten Saturday morning, we add a repeat of On The Media at four Sunday afternoon on Classical KNAU and American Routesreturns to its old time Saturday afternoon at three on News/Talk.

We’ve heard from a few of you about Car Talk. While we’ll miss the Tappet Brothers too (truly one of the funniest programs in the history of radio), the program lives online at CarTalk.com. And as you may have already learned, nothing ever dies on the web. One final note: Don’t drive like my brother.
