  • Top notch radio

    I am a pretty regular listener to the KZMU podcast and must say how much I enjoy the skilled explainer you have in Molly Marcello. She represents the station so professionally and clearly which makes the wide variety of topics covered so much more understandable. The weekly interviews with the local newspaper editors and other guests demonstrate a high degree of journalistic integrity. Thank you for delivering such quality radio in these troubled times!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

News Reel: Lake Powell reaches critical levels after record low snowpack
Q: What is the current situation at Lake Powell and why does it matter for the river system?
Lake Powell is experiencing record-low snowpack, leading to lower water levels that threaten the dam's ability to generate electricity and release water downstream; officials say they need about 1.7 million acre-feet of additional water to avoid dipping below critical thresholds.
News Reel: New airline recommended for Canyonlands Regional Airport
Q: Did price play a role in the decision-making process?
Price was not heavily discussed, and the reporter assumes ticket costs would be similar to the current arrangement under the EAS framework.
News Reel: New airline recommended for Canyonlands Regional Airport
Q: Was cost a factor at all in the county's decision?
Cost was not really discussed in detail; the reporter notes that subsidy amounts were similar between SkyWest and Contour, and price guidance was not a primary factor in the decision.
Regional Roundup: Youth activists rally for the Great Salt Lake
Q: What were you seeing as a librarian in terms of programming and community response, and how did that shape your viewpoint?
