Rocky Mountain Community Radio Regional Roundup

Rocky Mountain Community Radio (RMCR) is a coalition of non-commercial radio stations in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Member stations broadcast diverse news and music programming. KHEN is a proud member!

RMCR collaborates to produce news and enterprise journalism that connects our communities. In the Spring of 2022, RMCR hired a new Managing Editor and Producer to help coordinate news journalism collaboration and content distribution through our region. These Regional Roundup segments are a result of this collaboration, and are produced by Maeve Conran.

On this week’s Regional Roundup, we hear about a jazz festival in northern New Mexico that celebrates Indigenous jazz music. Then, we head to the Roaring Fork Valley on Colorado’s Western Slope to hear about efforts to create safe passages for wildlife crossing highways. After that, we head to Wyoming to hear how goats are being used for fire mitigation. We round out the show by hearing how Western Colorado University is working with Tribes to repatriate the remains of Native Americans that have been held by a museum.
