This Week on RadioACTive, M-F at 6PM

Weeknights from 6-7 PM, RadioACTive passes the mic to grassroots activists, community builders, punk rock farmers, and DIY makers and musicians. All week long, we're asking folks to share the pioneering moments in their own lives. What set you on the path to where you are today? Use the KRCL Mobile App to tell us your story (under the Talk to KRCL tab), or record and send a voicememo to radioactive@krcl.org.

Monday, July 20: Just as KRCL Digs Everyone’s Individuality, we also believe that everyone has their own pioneer story. So, as we roll toward Pie & Beer Day, we talk with a unique cast of characters. Tonight, RadioACTive Pop!'s Olivia Jaramillo hosts the one and only Cat Palmer: photographer, artist, Utah Queer Film Festival program director, and now host of The Cat’s Meow SLC.

Tuesday, July 21: Singing Resistance SLC sings grief into change as part of SLC’s nonviolent song movement. Roundtable Tuesday with Risshan Leak gets a sneak peek as the grassroots group prepares for the Storm Mountain Canyon Concert. It’s a benefit for neighbors affected by unjust ICE detention, with all proceeds going to Comunidades Unidas. CU's Dominque Byrd will also be on the show to talk about the nonprofit's fight to build the social and political power of Latinx immigrants living in Utah, against the backdrop of more ICE enforcement and violence.

Wednesday, July 22: With temperatures soaring and wildfires raging, RadioACTive with Nick @ 6 talks with Kelly Ramsey, author of Wildfire Days, A Woman, a Hotshot Crew, and the Burning of the American West. 

Thursday, July 23: RadioACTive Workshop's America 250 Book Club wraps its exploration of our founding documents, the stories we hear about them, and the storytellers themselves. This week, Lianna Manibog of The Threadwork Collective leads us in a discussion of The Living Document — it isn't the Constitution; it's We the People. Plus, Meet Your Maker, Great Salt Lake Hopeline, and The Utah Investigative Journalism Project's 1st Amendment Report.

Friday, July 24: Happy Pioneer Day! Take a listen as RadioACTive presents its unique collection of pioneers, from amateur astronomers to grassroots organizers to radio radicals. Everyone has a pioneer story of how they got to where they are today. And remember, stay hydrated and cool out there, folks!
