Sleepy and root sit down with Dave Ashton, the Denver Program Manager for KGNU radio. KGNU is an independent, noncommercial community radio station with hubs in Boulder and Denver. Dave talks radio, what it can do and why it's important, listener demographics that might surprise you, control of media, and the pressures that might attempt to shape what we hear on the airwaves. Dave talks hip-hop beginnings, college radio, and his path to KGNU. Tune in at 88.5 FM or 1390 AM in Denver and Boulder, and 99.1 FM in Golden. You can find more at KGNU's website or by emailing Dave at [email protected]. You can also download the KGNU app on your smartphone.
