Summer Wednesdays are "Talk Wednesdays" here on KUR. After a great morning and early afternoon of Cafe KUR Jazz, we kick off the talk programming at 2:45 p.m. with our popular "Diversity Rest Stop" interview, with a diverse newsmaker, musician, etc. This week, we kick off the programming 15 minutes early at a one-time special time of 2:30 p.m., when we sit down with jazz guitarist Larry Carlton and rock guitarist Tak Matsumoto who have a brand new jazz/rock collaboration album out!

The afternoon of talk programming continues at 3 p.m. with "Fifty One Percent," a radio magazine talk show designed specifically for women, followed at 3:30 p.m. by "This Way Out," the international gay/lesbian magazine.

Thanks for listening to the Radio Voice of Kutztown University, KUR!
