A long-time car journalist provides the advice and information necessary to make an informed car-buying decision. If there was ever a car-related question you wanted answered, this is the place to get it. Think of it as a mix of NPR's Car Talk and Gimlet Media's Every Little Thing podcast.

On October 31st 2018, we premiered two radio dramas that we produced with the Holland Project and an awesome group of volunteers! From the KWNK Archives here is MURDER ON MIC: A radio mystery writer, fired by the show’s producer, plans the ultimate revenge…a real murder on the show!

KWNK DJ and correspondent Emma Rash sat down with prolific musician Joe Jack Talcum (The Dead Milkmen, I Think Like Midnight) when he was in Reno for a solo show in April. Hear them talk art, inspiration, the differences between performing solo and in a group, and imaginary punks!

Big thanks to Joe Jack Talcum for stopping by the studio to give an interview! You can keep up with Joe at his website, jacktalcum.com.

Artists Austin Pratt(NV) and Tom Wixo (PA) stopped by the KWNK Studio to chat about their exhibition Weeping Laughing Songs on view at The Holland Project. Austin and Tom met while at the University of Tennessee in the Fall of 2015 where they shared a living and work space from 2015-2018 and often found themselves engaged in similar conversations about how and what drawing was and could be. For their exhibition, Weeping Laughing Song, they sent drawings back and forth to each other through the mail between Nevada and Pennsylvania. These drawings emerged out of responding, mutilating, distorting, focusing, centering, derailing, and fragmenting broken images and idiosyncratic processes; expanding a more open idea of how drawings can be.

Listen back to our interview with author Kiese Laymon (interviewed by Tyna Sloan) from the 2019 Nevada Humanities Lit Crawl.  Tyna also created a special episode of her show Phonolinguists called Da Art of Storytellin' (Prequel) ~ inspired by Keise Laymon's essay, How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America.
