KUR - We are already deep into our Summer 2012 programming. In addition to all of our regular stellar programming this week (see "schedule" link for the full rundown), tune in on Wednesday, May 23, during Mike Regensburger's show "Monsoon Mike's Community Jukebox" for an interview with "Independent Space" director Tara Morrison. The "Independent Space" is a relatively new, non-profit art gallery at 19 E. Main Street in Kutztown, and it is celebrating its first anniversary. Tara has been on KUR in the past when the gallery first opened in 2011. Tune in to Mike's conversation with her to hear what is going on a year later and how the gallery is celebrating. "Monsoon Mike's Community Jukebox" runs from 1-4 p.m. on Wednesday, with Tara planning to drop-in around 2 p.m.
