RADIO HIGHLIGHTSSt Paul Sunday canceled: After 32 years, American Public Media’s weekly broadcast of Saint PaulSunday is coming to a close on Sunday, June 24, 2012. This cherished one-hour broadcast was launchedin 1980 on a very simple premise: to give listeners intimate access to how music was created at the veryhighest level. What would it be like to hear the Julliard String Quartet perform in your living room, or toinvite Joshua Bell over for lunch? Each week, host Bill McGlaughlin took listeners into deep and joyousexploration of the music and music-makers. But after several years of repeats, American Public Media hasmade the difficult decision to sunset Saint Paul Sunday this summer. As of July 1st, WSKG will begin NPR’sWeekend Edition Sunday one hour earlier, starting at 8:00am.New episodes of Radiolab continue: Listen on Thursdays at 1:00pm and 7:00pm.7/5: Lucy Chimps. Bonobos.

This hour, weask how the pigments around us color our thoughts, and wonder how much of what we see is on theoutside...and how much is created in our heads.hen we hear the term “hoarding,” we tend to picture a home crammed full ofW belongings and clutter.
