Live in concert! Virtual David Bowie!

Joe Ruszkowski is the HPU director of bands… his symphonic band is performing tomorrow night at Roosevelt High School with the virtual David Bowie, among many others.

Wait, Wait... What's a Cinecast?

For 15 years, Peter Sagal has given overachievers a good reason to pay attention to the week's news..great moments of gloating at all the right answers...even if that doesn’t mean they get Carl Kasell on their outgoing message.  Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, the Saturday quiz show heard on 450 public radio stations, gets the cinematic treatment next Thursday night, May 2. For ticket information about the Hawaii event, call HPR during business hours.
