Foolkiller Folk
The Foolkiller Folk collective explores the storytelling, cultural, and protest power of folk music from as far back as the Child Ballads through as current as released today.

With no Program Director or Executive Director to determine our content, KKFI is a truly community-driven project. Where else can you find a station where the DJs are free to present a musical travelogue of their summer vacation? Which is exactly what we’re doing to celebrate the idiosyncrasy of KKFI on this last day of the pledge drive. Listen in and call 888.931.0901 to support KKFI or donate online at kkfi.org. You can become a sustainer today!
