On Being to cease radio production On Being with Krista Tippett is ending weekly production as a public radio show at the end of June, and will continue in the fall as a seasonal podcast. In making the announcement, Krista called this an "energizing and necessary" transition, and the last two months of the weekly show will be a celebration. This will necessitate some changes to KGOU's radio schedule this summer. Stay tuned as we consider the options. Krista's letter to listeners

As frustrated as she was by the delayed recovery, Robin is excited to return to the host chair now that her doctors have given the 'all clear.' She's scheduled to be back on the air Monday, May 9 with co-host Scott Tong.
