 I am a carbon-based life form from the planet Earth who specializes in making noise. I have been audible since 1951.

On the plus side, I'm able to be .......MoreJim Beers News Director 970.350.0809 Jim.Beers@kunc.org  I joined the staff of KUNC in 1972.

I can’t imagine my life without KUNC. My journey to employment here has been interesting. I started my volunteer involvement with the station by answering phones during the on-air drives. From there I joined the Community Advisory board. I was president of the Advisory Board in February 2001, when UNC decided to sell the station license. ...More I began working at KUNC while finishing my B.A. in Speech Communication at the University of Northern Colorado.

More I’ve always fancied myself a better writer than speaker, so it’s odd for me to find myself hosting Morning Edition. I got into journalism to exercise a reverence for language, and to come to know people through their stories. I hope trying to channel all of that into hosting will make me pithier, because brevity is not my strong suit... ...More I joined KUNC in August of 1993 as host of "All Things Considered." It has been a privilege to have my reporting and feature work at KUNC recognized with awards from the Colorado Associated Press, Colorado Broadcasters Association, and the Society of Professional Journalists .....More I first became a fan of public radio as a journalism student at Boston University, where I spent 2 years as a work-study student at WBUR. I moved to Colorado in 1990, and KUNC was the first Colorado station I found while scanning the dial as I drove across the state line. I've been a listener ever since. .....MoreDirector of Corporate Support & Marketing 970.350.0822 Robert.Leja@kunc.org
 Far from radio, I grew up and spent most of my adult life involved in the livestock industry. However, throughout my career with the USDA I did countless market report broadcasts. One of my favorite stories is about the guy who said he had to call the recording three times just to get the market information cuz he..... More At the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs pyramid is the Self-Actualization triangle.

 I began my career with KUNC in January of 2008 as the Administrative Assistant. Although I was released from the employment responsibilities of that position within a month, I was fortunate enough to be concurrently re-hired as Membership Associate. I feel overwhelmingly fortunate to have been introduced to this warm, intelligent group of individuals of such high caliber. ...More Hello! I think that I was destined for this business.
