Beau Baker
Newscast Editor and ProducerEmail: beau.baker@kunc.org
As the Newscast Editor and Producer, I provide listeners with news and information critical to our region.
I grew up listening to public radio in rural Idaho and those airwaves made a deep impression on me. Radio is a dynamic medium that brings people comfort, comradery and consciousness. It’s always been a privilege to work in the broadcast ranks.
My background is in environmental and natural resource journalism and small-scale agriculture. Before moving to Colorado with my wife, I worked as a Reporter, Producer and Morning Edition Host at Montana Public Radio. I also spent a few summers commercial fishing in Alaska. More recently, I served as a reporter for the Mountain West News Bureau.
When not on the air, I’m eating, biking or on the hunt for LPs.
