On the launch of KZMU’s spring radiothon fundraiser, we check in with station manager Serah Mead. She looks back on the station during ‘the pandemic year,’ and discusses the lessons she’d like to keep moving forward – as well as those she’s eager to leave behind.

Plus, our Weekly News Reel, where we speak to reporters about the latest stories they covered in our area. Times-Independent editor Doug McMurdo talks OHV noise, commissioner Mary McGann’s visit with Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, sewer rates, and more. Moab Sun News editor/publisher Maggie McGuire discusses a climber’s damage of a rock art panel north of Arches. She also has more details on the likely human-caused fire at the local wetlands preserve.
