This Week on KPR Presents

Three Cups of Tea: Greg Mortenson
Greg Mortenson's story begins with a failed attempt to climb the world's second highest mountain, and takes him on a mission to promote peace by building one school at a time. Mortenson chronicles his journey in his best-selling book, "Three Cups of Tea." Mortenson brought his message to a sold-out crowd at Washburn University last fall, where Washburn was participating in Mortenson's "Pennies for Peace" campaign to help raise money for schools and other projects around the world. KPR Presents Greg Mortenson, 8:00 Sunday evening.

UP NEXT

PROGRAM: The Retro Cocktail Hour
Saturday 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Your host: Darrell Brogdon

Kansas Public Radio's Retro Cocktail Hour is our weekly nod to the Space Age Pop revival. Here you'll find vintage recordings from the dawn of the Hi-Fi Era - imaginative, light-hearted (and sometimes light-headed) pop stylings designed to underscore everything from the backyard barbecue to the high-tech bachelor pad. Darrell Brogdon serves up two hours of incredibly strange music on Kansas Public Radio, so grab a cocktail shaker and join us for The Retro Cocktail Hour.
