For the past three decades, this wild and woolly radio station has provided the soundtrack to the Moab experience, kept listeners informed and fostered connections to community. There are so many people who have helped the station grow, create, change and thrive, including every person listening right now! So on the first day of our spring radiothon, we check in with executive director Serah Mead. We’ll hear about celebrating of 30 years of KZMU and how to vision for the next three decades.

// Plus, the Weekly News Reel, where we check in with reporters on their latest stories of the Moab area. Sophia Fisher from The Times-Independent discusses Moab City’s new police chief and city manager, as well as the latest on workforce housing. Alison Harford from the Moab Sun News talks ownership changes at Back of Beyond bookstore, staffing changes at city hall and an injured horse getting passionate treatment at the Moab vet clinic.
