KZMU News

Listener, KZMU News is still on summer break, returning mid-August with fresh, local grassroots community-powered journalism. While we’re away, we wanted to highlight some of the great public affairs shows produced locally at your community radio station.

Right now we have five – This Week in Moab, Radio Book Club, Thought for Food, Great Wide Open, and Art Talks. We’ll feature all of them this week during the news.

On Great Wide Open (2nd Mondays at 4pm) host Lisa Hathaway holds diverse and in-depth conversations about outdoor recreation in our region. She’s spoken with climbers, stand up paddleboarders, astronomers – and often goes into the field to conduct these interviews. On this excerpt from her March episode, Lisa rigged her recorder to a backpack while biking next to ultra marathon runners Meghan Hicks and Melissa Beaury.

On Radio Book Club (1st Mondays at 5pm), staff from the Grand County Public Library and Back of Beyond Books get into all things literary – local events, bestsellers, and author interviews.

On this excerpt from a July episode, hosts explore new topics for these socially distant times – like the very experience of reading.
