Boise State Public Radio is making some changes to its Saturday and Sunday program schedules. Starting July 14, you'll hear new programs on Boise State Public Radio News and Boise State Public Radio Music, as well as some familiar shows at new times and on new days.

This spring Boise State Public Radio is excited to launch our new weekday show, Idaho Matters with host Gemma Gaudette. Beginning Monday April 23rd at noon we’ll take the time to explore issues and topics that are of interest to you.

With fall’s arrival, there are changes in the air and on the air here at Boise State Public Radio. Beginning Saturday, October 7 and Sunday, October 8 we’ll make several adjustments to our weekend schedule and add some new programs in an effort to better serve you. These changes give us the opportunity to share some new & exciting voices on KBSX.

Schedule changes:

For three decades, Car Talk has entertained millions of public radio listeners. Brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi have been fixtures on Boise State Public Radio and regularly one of the most listened to hours each week on KBSX 91.5. Mixing automotive first-aid with roadside philosophy led the Car Guys to receive broadcasting’s most prestigious Peabody award.

Josh Ritter is singer-songwriter royalty and one of Idaho's most-gifted musical treasures. Nothing showcases his talent more than a solo acoustic performance.

So around the fifth anniversary of his Tiny Desk gem for NPR, we re-discover this newly remastered set. Ritter's impeccable use of dynamics and pure joy of performing shine through with brilliant results. Do yourself a favor and take the time to soak it all in.

Take a glimpse into a world you can’t see with Invisibilia, a new program on KBSX 91.5 about the unseen forces that shape human behavior -- ideas, beliefs, assumptions and thoughts.

The one-hour show, which takes its name from the Latin word meaning “all the invisible things,” is produced by NPR’s award-winning Science Desk. Listen to the show locally every Saturday at 3 p.m. starting Jan. 10 on KBSX 91.5 FM.

As most of you now know, Car Talk’s Tom Magliozzi passed away earlier this month from complications due to Alzheimer’s Disease. Tom and Ray, best known as "Click and Clack," have ruled the Saturday-morning airwaves across the country -- including here in Boise -- for more than two decades.

Starting Monday November 17, NPR and Boise State Public Radio's KBSX 91.5 FM are changing its newscast schedule in Morning Edition. You will want to make sure to watch your clock because some of the sounds that help guide your morning routine will be shifting just a bit.

NPR has been working with member stations like Boise State Public Radio over the past year to examine the best ways to improve our service. These clock changes are the result.

As a Boise State Public Radio listener, you're probably aware that we've been working hard for the past several years to stay ahead of rapid changes in the radio landscape.

I'm writing now to ask for your opinion. Our goal is to continue to provide the quality news and eclectic music programming you want and in the way that you want it, so I'm inviting you to share your feelings about technology in our annual survey.

Boise State Public Radio's news station, KBSX 91.5 FM, will air a series of four political debates leading up to the May 20 primary election.

Beginning May 12, we will broadcast top-tier debates produced by Idaho Public Television, and co-sponsored by the Idaho Press Club and the League of Women Voters.

Boise State Public Radio reporters Emilie Ritter Saunders and Adam Cotterell are panelists on two of the debates we will broadcast.

Here is the schedule:

Back in August, American Public Media announced 'The Story' would stop production after a successful eight-year run when host Dick Gordon decided to leave. The final episode will air Friday, November 22.

Good news for Science Friday fans. We've been able to strike a deal with NPR so that we can offer an hour of the show at no additional charge to the station. Science Friday will be back on Boise State Public Radio's air July 5.

You'll find Ira Flatow and company each Friday from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. on KBSX 91.5 fm.

UPDATE July 2: We will air one hour of Science Friday each Friday afternoon beginning July 5. Here are the details.
