KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Taco Literacy Class; Sake-Flavored KitKats

Published February 1, 2016 at 6:10 AM CST

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne. Students at the University of Kentucky can now get credit for studying and eating tacos. Kentucky has a growing Latino population, so why not offer a college course on taco literacy as a way into Latino culture? In Japan, Kit Kats have just gotten more culturally appealing. Today, Nestle rolls out a sake-flavored Kit Kat, giving the little chocolate wafers an aftertaste of Japan's national drink. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
