Java Blend can be heard on WSUI AM910 Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m. For statewide broadcast times on the Iowa Public Radio network click here.
Every week Iowa Public Radio’s Java Blend with Ben Kieffer serves up fresh-brewed performances and conversation with musicians from around the state and around the country. Recorded before a live audience at The Java House in downtown Iowa City, the one-hour show offers an eclectic mix of live tunes from the vibrant independent music scene. Ben Kieffer infuses the performances with lively chats to find out about the artists’ music and lives.
The show is taped (at noon on Fridays) before a live audience at the café. Then the hour is broadcast statewide multiple times on a future weekend to an estimated 50,000 Iowa Public Radio listeners. Stations include KUNI Cedar Falls/Waterloo/Cedar Rapids/Iowa City, KUNY/KRNI Mason City, KDMR Des Moines, KDUB Dubuque, WSUI Iowa City/Cedar Rapids, WOI Ames/Des Moines, KTPR Fort Dodge, KOWI Lamoni, and KWOI Carroll.
Java Blend is also videotaped for several TV broadcasts on the UITV cable channel (UITV schedule) in the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area. The audio version also can be heard worldwide on the internet via the respective stations’ live webcasting.
