Over the past few months, listeners will have noticed a new voice in the newscast. We are thrilled to say it's the voice of Emily Arntsen — KZMU’s new reporter. Today we speak with Emily about her background in journalism and what she's excited about covering for KZMU. Plus, the Utah Shakespeare Festival is touring rural areas to perform and lead workshops for students.

// And as always, we have the Weekly News Reel when we check in with reporters on the latest stories of the Moab area. Doug McMurdo of The Times-Independent discusses local preparation for spring run-off season, a denied proposal for more commercial flights out of Canyonlands Airport, and Grand County High School’s new quarter system. Alison Harford of the Moab Sun News discusses Golden Eagles in Indian Creek climbing areas, an upcoming Green River Rocks event, and tips to prepare for possible flooding this spring.
