Erin OToole
I started my career in Cincinnati, Ohio where I was a traffic reporter by day and a volunteer public radio music host by night. Although I spent almost nine years in commercial radio, I have always had a passion for the creativity and intelligence of public broadcasting.
I moved to Colorado in 2009 from the San Bernardino/Riverside area of California where I served as Morning Edition host and reporter for an NPR member station. During my six years there I covered a broad variety of topics including healthcare, immigration and clean energy. In 2008 I was selected as a USC/Annenberg Health Journalism fellow, studying and reporting primarily on healthcare reform, domestic violence and health awareness media campaigns.
I graduated with a B.A. in Communication Studies from California State University, San Bernardino.
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, reading (science fiction or politics â⦠or just suggestions for your favorite things to do in Colorado!

Leaf peeping season is just here in Colorado and folks are heading to the mountains looking to see those orange and gold aspen leaves that cover the hillsides. Fall is also a good time to plant a tree. So you can bet that quite a few of those tourists will look at those vibrant aspen and wonder why they can't just plant one in their yard. In fact, experts at Colorado State University Extension say “how to plant an aspen at home” is one of the most common questions they field from the public. For Rocky Mountain Community Radio, K-U-N-C's Erin O'Toole spoke to John Murgle, a horticulture specialist with the CSU Extension. Murgle says the aspen is a uniquely beautiful tree but it may be a lousy choice for your yard. -
