New
Horizons in Education, the award-winning radio show hosted by Boise State
University President Bob Kustra, will kick off a new schedule of
twice-weekly broadcasts with upcoming interviews with Pulitzer-prize
winning novelist Jane Smiley and religious scholar and author Karen
Armstrong.
An interview with Smiley airs at 5:30 p.m. Friday on NPR News 91 during
New Horizons in Education’s regularly scheduled broadcast. The broadcast
will air again at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday on NPR News 91 during the show’s new
time slot.
Kustra’s interview with Armstrong airs at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, and
again at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 23.
Subsequent shows will also air on both Friday and Sunday, giving listeners
two opportunities to tune in to each week’s broadcasts.
Smiley speaks Thursday in Boise at a lecture presented by the Idaho
Humanities Council. Armstrong spoke on Oct. 4 at Boise State to an
audience of more than 1,900 as part of the university’s Distinguished
Lecture Series.
Since its inception in August 2003, New Horizons in Education has featured
a wide variety of guests, including nationally recognized figures as well
as politicians, professors, artists, and others from the Treasure Valley.
Earlier this year, the program was awarded a silver medal from the
Northwest district of the Council for Advancement and Support of
Education.
