Listeners, it’s radiothon! And here at the newscast we take this opportunity to reflect on the stories and projects we've been working on for the past few months. KZMU News team Molly Marcello and Justin Higginbottom spoke with executive director Serah Mead live from downtown Moab about their reporting and the uniqueness of community radio.

// Plus, the Weekly News Reel! Sophia Fisher of The Times-Independent talks ultramarathon running, election coverage, Arches’ entrance closures and a new hire at the Moab City Police Department. Maggie McGuire of the Moab Sun News discusses visioning at Moab City, a Walnut Lane resident survey and recent sexual assault trainings for law enforcement.
