Edited interviews are available from the homepage via our audio and video galleries.

Current Live Broadcasts Include:
10am-11:30am M-F CST USA – Donna, the barefoot DJ pops in after chores and gives a report on the latest farm activities and Ozark weather along with a roundup of the weekend’s musical activities. She has fun with a mix of traditional country, bluegrass, roots and Americana. Cowboy music kicks in around 10:45am as a lead up to our 11am presentation of Dakota Livesay’s Chronicles of the Old West. Dakota ties in historical tidbits with his research into what really happened in the Old West. From the infamous Wild Bill Hickok and Judge Roy Bean, to the outlaws they pursued, and the cattlemen and settlers who carved out a home in the Western Frontier. It’s exciting, insightful and an interesting way to learn about the life and times of the folks that created the country we broadcast from.
Old artists and new are heard during Barefoot’s show as she handles requests, keeps up with the latest musical news and other happenings around the world. With an audience that spans the width and breadth of our planet, listening to Donna’s show is fun, interesting and always just a bit different then what the average DJ comes up with.
4p-5p M-F CST USA – The Ol’ Buzzard takes over the airwaves with interesting anecdotes, background stories on the artists that we play and his ‘Ol Buzzard blend of humor. Whether it’s reporting on our latest additions to the playlist, the latest additions to the farm, or his favorite new joke, you’ll enjoy spending time listening to Buzz. And don’t forget that he’s happy to handle your afternoon and evening requests. Finding songs from our many sources is one of his specialties. He also loves making contact with new artists so by all means, if you’re music fits with our station send Buzz an email at Buzz@KWBC.FM and let him know who you are and what you’re up to. Who knows, next week he might be talking about and playing your music!
6a – 12noon CST Saturdays USA – KWBC.FM’s Bluegrass Show is a must listen for bluegrass enthusiasts! With one of the largest playlists in Internet Radio we continue to offer what everyone is hoping for: more of the real thing! Bluegrass goes right to the heart with its storytelling, amazing harmonies, and unequalled instrumentation. Add to that an incredible hour from 10a-11a specifically for Midwest U.S. Bluegrass. We highlight bands in our home state of Missouri and those states that surround us giving you get a taste of what we get to hear when we travel to local bluegrass venues. Some have been at it for a while, some are just starting out, and some are still growing into their voices. Regardless, it’s a fun hour that will have your toes tapping and put a smile on your face for the rest of the day!
What’s next – “Dibs n’ Dabs”: Without This You Wouldn’t Have That – This show will take us back to the origins of the music we feature in our regular playlist. With The Ol’ Buzzard or Barefoot handling the reins together we’ll experience the blues before they became country blues, how Celtic tunes came across the sea and made their way into the hills and hollers and came out as folk, bluegrass and Americana. We’ll also learn how the music of Native Peoples takes us for a ride over mountains, out onto the plains and into the heart and soul of everyone who loves music. Tentatively scheduled for Sunday mornings
