Next week's Morning Show line-up: We'll launch the week
with a live broadcast from Gateway's Horizon Center where Snap-On Tools
motorcycle racer Steve Johnson
will be addressing students. On Tuesday, Greg will speak with Ralph Houghton.
The former KUSD Fine Arts Director is receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award
from the Anderson Arts Center. On Wednesday, Wall Street Journal Columnist
Jeffrey Zaslow will talk about his book,
"The Last Lecture", which he
co-authored with Steve Pausch, a computer science professor who
gave a moving and inspiring 'last lecture' after he was diagnosed with terminal
pancreatic cancer. The lecture--and book--have created worldwide buzz. On Thursday,
Gateway President Bryan Albrecht will talk about new and impressive tools soon
to be used by Gateway police and fire science students. On Friday, we'll hear
about the incredibly intense and complex rivalry between golfing greats Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.

 We're not sure whether
today's Morning Show has a
stronger Mother's Day theme or more of a Metropolitan Opera focus, but it's a
good story no matter how you cut it! Dorothy Constantine of Racine grew up listening to the Saturday
afternoon Met broadcasts with her late mother--only imagining what it would be
like to be in the audience. This past spring, Dorothy attended her very first
Met performance, and she did so in honor of her mother. Greg spoke with
Mrs. Constantine on today's Morning Show.
Power Up!: WGTD is broadcasting from a new antenna atop a taller
tower. The result is a signal from Kenosha that's pushing the Walworth County
line, stretching to Burlington and providing stronger coverage on Racine's
northeast side and further north through Oak Creek and into South Milwaukee.
For more on our engineering project, click the 'About WGTD' tab above, then
scroll down to the news release. Feel free to email me at
coled@gtc.edu with your signal
observations.--DC.
Opera encores: Our Saturday afternoon broadcasts from the stage of the
Metropolitan Opera in New York ended for the season last weekend, but there are
additional opportunities for opera lovers. For the next two Saturdays. WPR will
broadcast performances of the Madison Opera.
Each opera will begin at 12:30. And there's been a surprise addition to the
Met's HD theater series. Due to its popularity, the Met will offer an encore
presentation of La Boheme Wednesday evening, May 14th at 6:30. In our area, this
showing will be available only at Tinseltown in Kenosha.
ATC & This American Life: An exploration of the
sub-prime lending crisis is the first collaboration by All Things Considered
and This American Life, an edgy Chicago-based public affairs show that's
heard on WPR's Ideas Network. This afternoon, hosts Michele Norris and Ira Glass
will introduce the story and talk about the collaboration. Following the piece,
NPR's Adam Davidson and This America Life's Alex Blumberg will talk about the
interconnected web that created a partnership between poor homeowners with bad
credit and some of the world's richest investors. If you miss the piece live,
it'll be archived along with other ATC segments on NPR's website. Click the
appropriate tabs above.
