Hey! What's going on here?
Starting April 8, KNPR’s State of Nevada might sound a bit different. That’s because we’re making some changes we hope you’ll love. Our segments are a little shorter — 12, 15, and 27 minutes. This is so we can offer you more variety in topics and styles, including shorter stories you can easily share and longer listens you can tuck into when you’re in the mood.
As always, you can let us know what you think with the contact info below or by using our feedback form.
