The theme this spring is "I AM KRCU." KRCU listeners are determined, witty, smart, knowledgeable and so much more. The goal for the drive is $41,000 and will end as soon as the goal is reached.

There’s a lot going on at the Caffe Concerto in the coming weeks, but perhaps the most exciting event will occur on Tuesday, March 26 when we take the Caffe on the road to Sikeston. That day the Caffe will broadcast live from Southeast  Missouri State University’s Regional Campus there.  In addition to serving our usual fare of finely prepared classical music, we’ll chat with various people in the Sikeston area and learn first-hand what’s going on there.  It’s an opportunity for us to meet the people in our service area and for them to meet us.

A sudden political surprise. Low water on the Mississippi River. A Medicaid proposal caught in the crosshairs in Jefferson City. There’s been plenty of news to cover over the last few weeks in Southeast Missouri.

West Bank Bistro opened its doors on December 14th in the restored Huhn-Harrison House across from Southeast Missouri State University's River Campus.  They feature regional coffees with a variety of baked goods, soups, salads and sandwiches.
