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’ll hear about the recent awards given by Aspen nonprofit Climate Curve for innovative climate solutions. Then we’ll hear how President Trump has reduced the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments, reducing protections for the iconic landscapes. Then we find out how an animal shelter in Western Colorado had to evacuate all their animals due to the Gold Mountain Fire. Then we tag along on Carbondale’s first-ever Art Crawl, then we hear about the geologic history of the region, and we round out the show with the story of an historic collegiate summer baseball league.
