VOICES Radio Hour
VOICES Radio Hour airs from 6-7 p.m. on the second Friday of each month

VOICES Radio Hour is presented by VOICES in collaboration with Circa 71 Productions. This series is part of VOICES’ latest project in response to our intrinsic need to share stories, coupled with Circa 71 Productions’ mission to preserve memories and stories as the sacred archeology of our loved ones. The collaboration will bring about collected stories under different themes and voices from all walks of our community in the monthly VOICES Radio Hour. We hope this serves to preserve our oral history of who we are, where we come from, and who we aspire to be, through the tradition of storytelling.

  • VOICES ARTery Tiny Stage is an intimate mobile space for music and storytelling. In this event of “HerStory - Strong Women in the Valley”, co-presented by VOICES and Bookcliffs Art Center, recorded and co-produced live by Creative Archeology, four storytellers from different walks of life in the Colorado River Valley communities share stories about their origins, their becoming, and their way of being as mother, writer, community leader, and creatives.
  • This month on VOICES Radio Hour — Airing Friday, July 11th at 6pm on KDNK — we talked to locals in the Roaring Fork Valley about their journeys to find home, whether here or returning to places they had never been before. Recorded live on the 4th of July First Friday in Carbondale, and with music by Mateo Sandate and Gabriella Mejia.
  • In this era of social media and 24-hour news on demand, we have never been more able to escape down the rabbit hole into our own ideologies. This new initiative centers on one-on-one conversations about tough topics in a safe and supportive setting. VOICES aims to build connection and understanding that chips away at the walls that have built up between us as a society.
  • This month on VOICES Radio Hour, we sat down with three remarkable storytellers. Two reflect on moments that shaped their lives, while one guides us through the courageous process of beginning a memoir. Together, their stories explore memory, meaning, and the legacy we leave behind.
  • This month, we asked sober members of our community to share how they got to where they are now - living clear in the high country. With humor, grace, and humility these women share what made them put down the bottle, face their demons, and emerge out the other side as their true selves.
  • This week on Voices Radio Hour we kick off our Common Ground series by discussing the ways we can bring our best self to the table for hard conversations. In a conversation with Paul Dankers, who is a psilocybin harm reduction specialist, we discuss IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy and how it can help us put down our defenses and see what connects us rather than what divides us.
  • Love is in the air! This month, we celebrate the enduring power of love to overcome any obstacle. So often, romantic love gets the focus, but what about the stories of how love can carry us through difficult times, challenges, and all that life has to throw at us? Today’s episode features the voices of Paul Dankers, Gentrye Houghton, Gary Gleason, and a special conversation between Peter Westcott and Kate Friesen
  • We present to you a re-airing of our March 2024 episode, Newcomers Think of Home. And we ask you to listen to the Voices of those who made their way to our town, were welcomed into our community, and left a lasting mark on those who they met.
  • Through stories, history, and songs, Skyler Lomahaftewa, and his friend Nina Gabianelli, of the Aspen Historical Society, illuminate the perspective of a modern Ute man in the Roaring Fork Valley. Skyler shares his experience as a “default rebel” and what it means to him to be Ute-American in these modern times.
  • This month's episode of VOICES Radio Hour was recorded in the field during VOICES Summertime Stories & Music event, held in partnership with Aspen Valley Land Trust at the Coffman Ranch on Saturday, August 10. The program, Our Land, Our Voices, brought together storytellers with diverse backgrounds, tied together by their stewardship and love of this special place we call home.
