The Morning Show Things are going well on The Morning Show. I host the show on weekdays from 6 until 10. Even if you can’t quite get our signal from where you are, you can head on over to our new website for The Morning Show and get all the latest on what went on [...]
All Roads Lead to Nome (Except for 99.99% of Roads)
Several elements of life serendipitously aligned last weekend – I had time off, I had a truck to use (thanks to the friendly folks who were letting me house-sit/dog-sit), and my girlfriend Jen was free – for me to make my way out of Nome and hit the road. And oh, what options when it [...]
White Mountain Village Trip
Hello, This week I had the opportunity to travel to the village of White Mountain and work on the next edition of my show Village Detour, a show where I put a single village in the spotlight and dedicate an entire hour to the song requests, dedications, and native music of the people living there. [...]
Alumni Memories: On December, in June
KNOM Radio Mission stands on the shoulders of all the volunteers that have come before. For one, two or three years they give of their time and talents to enrich the airwaves and the mission of KNOM Radio. As they move on, volunteers take with them a wealth of experiences, memories, and relationships. Former volunteer [...]
Caught Doing Something Good
Caught Doing Something Good, or CDSG for short, is KNOM’s newest show that began airing this past February. To date, 6 episodes of the show have aired and, like Elder Voices, another show on KNOM, it airs once a month. I came up with the idea for the show one winter afternoon after hearing a [...]
Collecting Two Years
You can collect a lot of stuff in your year(s) at KNOM. Coming up to the homestretch here – less than three months before my second year ends and I make my own exit – I’ve reflected on some of the things I’ve accumulated since arriving in August of 2010. First up, books. Nome is [...]
June has arrived!
Well it is officially the month of June now, (one of my favorite months of the year!) and June in Nome seems to be the equivalent of March or April in the North East of the lower 48; cooler temperatures (think 40-50, 60 on a warm day so far), some nice bright sun, some rain, [...]
Signing off
Well folks, it’s been a wild and very rewarding two years. I haven’t wrapped my mind around it, but I am finishing my time at KNOM the first week of June. I’ve heard radio people on several occasions say that you never know what’s going to happen on live radio, and I think the same [...]
Let’s Go For a Hike
Wandering down the country roads that surround Nome is one of my favorite things to do. I love being able to meander through the magnificent Alaskan countryside and then pull over on the side of the road and hike whatever hill I please. Hiking in the spring can be a little wet and a little [...]
Elasticity
As Public Affairs Director, my purview is nestled squarely within the news department of KNOM. Likewise, production people focus on, well, production duties, be it music, shows, or producing spots. But every now and then, something comes up that might let you do a little crossover, have one of those “hey you got your production [...]
