KGNU Boulder/Denver Community Radio |

Although KGNU has its own web page, I am proud to feature them here as well. I became associated with the station as a music programmer in 1995. Since then I've been fortunate to conduct not only a great many music programs, but a variety of interviews for various news and public affairs programming. These have included programs like Friday morning Connections, Metro, Metro Arts, A Public Affair, the Thursday Evening Call-in Show, Hemishperes, Live from Penny Lane, How on Earth science show, It's The Economy, and others. The volunteers, staff, and guests at KGNU have been instrumental in bringing a lot of diverse music and interesting topics to the public airwaves. I am grateful that the station has allowed me, on air, to pursue my passion for science, population issues, Deep Ecology, and other topics of interest to me (and my listeners!). However, on a cautionary note, KGNU (like all other broadcast outlets) must resist the urge to censor or inject bias into its news and interviews - regardless pressure from listeners and donors. The concept of a "community" radio station, where all can contribute, is a grand idea that is a wonderful alternative to what's normally available through commercial and public radio. Let's all work to keep bias and censorship out of radio - including KGNU... |

Open House
KGNU celebrated the opening of its
Denver Studio, located at 700 Kalamath
Street, on August 29, 2006:
Not Milk!
As Joanne Cole, KGNU's Community Relations Director
said, "Who would have thought MILK??!!" Yep, that hour
interview with Robert Cohen, author of Not Milk, brought
out a lot of passion! Either way, I learned a lot and want
to thank Eva for taking these pix and handling the wild
telephones that day!

Connections:
On February 4th, 2005, I had the pleasure of speaking with Joel Edelstein about the beginnings of KGNU's Friday morning Connections program. Joel founded the program, as the show's only producer, when the US decided to invade Iraq during the first Gulf war. January 18, 1991 was the program's first airing. It was called War Talk.War Talk offered a review of developments in the war that week and provided a forum for discussion. In that time of war fever, it was a place where members of the community who opposed the war could gain support from the knowledge that they were not alone. As a community forum in a time of war, Joel decided there would be no guests other than callers. As this was another difficult period in the history of American foreign policy, the telephone lines remained full throughout every broadcast! After the hostilities had ceased, at the end of March, the program's name was changed to Peace Talk.
After one year, Joel invited other producers to join him to create a new show. Connections first aired on February 21, 1992. Its mission: "Connecting People, Issues, and Ideas." Over the years there's been a small but stable "collective" of volunteers who produce the program each Friday morning. Generally we also rotate telephone duties between ourselves but have also been lucky to have regular assistance from folks like Eva Mesmer and others who have "pitched-in" when needed.
At the time of this entry, in 2005, our collective consisted of Joel Edelstein, Duncan Campbell, Tonja Loendorf, Kathy Partridge, Bob Gailer, Liz Lane and me. Sadly, early volunteer Paul Klite passed away in June, 2000 and is fondly remembered by our entire KGNU family. Connections has been around a long time and remains a vital and important feature on KGNU - I hope you'll tune in and join us this Friday morning!

KKMP - Garapan Village, Saipan (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) In June, 2015, I had the pleasure of not only being interviewed by KKMP (Manager Gary Sword) but cutting a commercial for them as well! I was part of the Kaul/Mitchler attempt at a first ascent up Agrigan Island and, therefore, one of the six team members interviewed live at the station. After the interview they asked if I'd record and interview and I agreed! It was a "cash-for-college" promotion that was aired twelve times for over a week! My friends and I, and many residents (of course!) heard the commercial at various times throughout our travels around Saipan and on neighboring Tinian. It was great fun at a great station! |
