Local band Tommy the Animal stops by the studio, KDNK staff talk about the Labor of Love Auction, and Marilyn Gleason hosts artists from the Cooper Corner Artist Collective in Glenwood Springs.
Tracy's music journey essentially began at KDNK, when his mom Susie Strode found a home in Carbondale in 1985 and promptly became a DJ on the station, along with wearing many other KDNK hats in the 80s and 90s. Susie also brought dozens of sought-after musical acts to the valley with her Music Gumbo Productions company, and young Tracy would often act as her secretary when the band members or their agents would call the landline at home to talk about upcoming bookings. Tracy has many fond memories of time spent upstairs at the Dinkel Building studio, our original location before we moved to our current home on 2nd Street
Marilyn Gleason is the graduate of CU Boulder's journalism school. She started her radio career in the Roaring Fork Valley at KAJX in Aspen, then came to KDNK in 2000 as the station was in the early stages of forming a local news program. Marilyn returns to direct a growing news team at KDNK.
