‘Trail Mix’ Show Brings Nature to the Airwaves

For his last late afternoon show of the year, Volunteer Fellow JoJo Phillips and his special guest Sean Smith brought listeners outside.

Surrounded by the natural sounds of babbling creeks, birds singing, and the tundra crunching underfoot, the pair discussed what it means to ‘hike your own hike’ and played favorite tunes for the outdoors.

With the end of JoJo’s tenure in Western Alaska, the staff has finished planned repairs and deep cleaning at the volunteer house in preparation to welcome a new cohort of volunteer fellows. If you or someone you know is interested in serving, visit www.knom.org/belong to learn more.
