Her readings air twice each weekday—once at 9:55 a.m. and once at 2:55 p.m.

After months of seeking donations through the crowd funding website Kickstarter, KHOI Community Radio surpassed its fundraising goal last week, receiving even more than the $12,000 it sought.
The benefactors who donated the critical goal-surpassing sum were Erv and Janet Klaas, the second of whom made a Sept. 14 visit to the station and wrote a check for $300.
“I rounded up,” she said, giving her reason for donating more than the station strictly needed.
The KHOI team received the couple’s gift gratefully. Ursula Ruedenberg, interim station manager, said that the station now had to raise only $30,000 more to finance the construction of a broadcast studio.
“This is a milestone,” Ruedenberg said. “It’s a quarter of what we need.”
Kickstarter, a fundraising site for creative projects, imposes an unusual condition on the money raised through it. If support seekers fail to raise the amount they’re aiming to by a given deadline, they receive nothing, no matter how closely they approximate their aim....

Hosted by Roger Berger, this program celebrates all the epochs of opera, from the baroque to the contemporary. Whether introducing the bel canto compositions of Gaetano Donizetti or the minimalist ones of John Adams, Berger pays tribute to the beauty, majesty and historical significance of his favorite art form.
Selections exclusively from the work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart will play over the course of a nine-hour broadcast.
Fans of classical music need turn their dials no further than 89.1 FM this weekend, when KHOI will air its first slate of classical programs.
Roger Berger, a retired Iowa State University professor, will lead the station’s venture into another genre with his show “Saturday Afternoon Opera,” which will air weekly from noon to 3 p.m.
Berger said his programs, which will present excerpts from his favorite composers’ work, would span the different epochs of opera’s development.
