Kaua‘i Community Radio is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and depends on the kōkua, or support, of listeners like you to stay on the air. KKCR is a gift paid forward by over 25 years of radically generous members and volunteers. If you’ve been listening for a while, but haven’t gotten around to donating yet, you can give the gift of great radio this holiday season by clicking “Pay It Forward.” Your one-time donation of only $10 stays on Kaua‘i and fosters meaningful connections in our community. Most importantly, your support keeps KKCR on the air – free to enjoy by the next new listener who hasn’t discovered the joy of giving back to KKCR. Kuleana has many meanings: responsibility, privilege, jurisdiction, interest, ownership, to name a few. Supporting this community resource is all of our kuleana, so pay it forward today. Mahalo nui loa for your kōkua.

KKCR STRATEGIC PLAN
Updating KKCR’s Strategic Plan will help us develop the right goals and targets for KKCR and help keep everyone’s efforts focused on meeting them.
As stated by Jerry Brocklehurst in the current Strategic Plan: “By joining together, we can all help the station become what it wants to be and what the community needs it to be – a forum for overlooked, suppressed, and under-represented voices, issues and music, free from the control of commercial and political interests, that reflects the broad, rich spectrum of Kaua‘i’s unique community and promotes the creative, cultural, and political vitality of the community… a station that also preserves, perpetuates, and celebrates Hawaiian culture and that stimulates, educates, and entertains its audience and provides relevant, accurate, and timely information throughout beautiful days on Kaua‘i as well as in times of crisis.” Click here to view the current Strategic Plan.
We want your input. Please complete the Strategic Plan Survey:
Mahalo for your participation in shaping KKCR’s future!
The Beloved Lyn McNutt
by Jodi Ascuena, Oct 2022
Lyn McNutt, the beloved Indigo of KKCR, passed away suddenly in September after a series of strokes. Her daughter Christine and her brother were able to come here to Kauaʻi to be at her side during her final days. We have a collective sadness at the station and send our condolences to Lynʻs family.
All staff members and programmers here at KKCR have felt the absence of her ebullient personality and will always be aware that her spirit resides in the very heart of this radio station. As Indigo, her show, Omnitorium, covered so many genres in numerous countries, and reached so many ears, it could be said her music has been appreciated around the world and back again. Her love of Hawaiian music was ever-present too; she would announce on almost every Omnitorium, “This may be a program of world music, but to most of the world, Hawaiian music IS World Music!”
Lynn would pick up all kinds of strange and unusual swag at the various conferences she attended, then find just the right person whoʻd appreciate propping up some bobble-headed puppy dog on their desk or sticking a tiny magnetic flashlight on the refrigerator. She had no reservations about dressing up in funny hats decorated with plastic plumeria and a neon hula skirt, then after you were doubled over with laughter, sheʻd announce with a cheeky grin, “Oh, Iʻm glad you like it so much, because I made one for you too!”. Such was Lynʻs great sense of humor, truly the stuff of legends!
We were so grateful for her unswerving love of music, her enormous generosity, her ability to talk to anyone about any thing, her rascal smile and infectious chuckle as she came around the corner, arms full of food for everyone in sight, dried fish over here, pickle mango over there, “E Bradda Lou, you like one foot-long Musubi? Fresh from Pono Market, you know?….”
Everybody loved Lyn McNutt, well, really, who wouldnʻt?
Lyn’s daughter Christine L Bayley-Wortley has organized a fundraiser to assist the family.
Nowelo I Kaua‘i Kuapapa
In Search of the Wisdom and Heartbeat of Ancient Kaua‘i
– Presented by Kumu Hula Kēhaulani Kekua
Volume 1: Mai Ka Piko O Kaua‘i Wai‘ale‘ale – The Umbilicus of Sacred Life Cycles
Nowelo I Kaua‘i Kuapapa is a cultural educational series which highlights Kaua‘i’s wahi pana, or storied and celebrated places, through mele pule, mele oli and mele hula – prayers, chants and dances that have been entrusted to the lineage of Kaipuwai. Kumu Hula Kēhaulani Kekua is a revered cultural practitioner and master teacher of traditional hula, born and raised on Kaua‘i. As the hiapo, or firstborn in her family, she was reared in the custom of hānai – freely given to be nurtured and groomed in hula by her maternal grandmother, Helen Kaipuwai Kekua Waiau. It is through her, that Kēhaulani inherited her family’s generations-old lineage and practices of Kaua‘i hula traditions.
Volume 1: Mai Ka Piko O Kaua‘i Wai‘ale‘ale
is available to send to you as our mahalo gift for your
$50 donation to KKCR.
