Pig News

Between all the holiday-themed pig music, KPIG always features unique programming throughout Christmas day. Join us this year as we feature something extra special: Every hour, beginning at noon this Wednesday, we're re-running vintage interviews of Laura Ellen Hopper chatting with pig artists including Kevin Welch, Slaid Cleaves, The Greencards (and others).

Laura Ellen was not only our founder, but she was a huge influence on the radio industry and helped shape the Americana format as we know it today.

Here's a complete schedule of the interviews running on Christmas day:

• Noon - Ray Wylie Hubbard
• 1:00pm - Kevin Welch
• 2:00pm - Slaid Cleaves
• 3:00pm - The Subdudes
• 4:00pm - Chris Smither
• 5:00pm - James McMurtry
• 6:00pm - The Greencards
