Fresh, homegrown music from Salduro, a 4-piece rock-and-roll band from Utah's Siberia (Logan). Their new album is Interior Decorating, a 14-song digital download with customizable album art. 

#ManyCulturesOneSky with SkyWatcher Leo T, a RadioACTive volunteer-contributor who shares his love for the night sky and cultural tales of the constellations during #PunkRockFarmerFridays. Tonight: a look at the new incoming comet...don't worry, it'll be close at 28 million miles away on February 1st. It's a beautiful green streak that is hopefully going to be visible in the morning of the 12th in the northeast above the Moab rim, or the Wasatch Front in the twinkly constellation, Corona Borealis! It will get brighter as we move toward February.

From our partners at Rocky Mountain Community Radio, a coalition of non-commercial radio stations in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah (including KRCL), and Wyoming:

Urban Farm Report, featuring Craig England Jr, who for four years has been the horticulturist at Red Butte Garden. England manages the Floral Walk, Amphitheatre, and Rose Garden. Prior to Red Butte, he owned and operated a bicycle-based garden maintenance and design service in Berkeley, CA for nearly a decade. His passion is finding places for fruiting trees and shrubs in an otherwise ornamental garden, and then bending them to his will through careful direction and pruning. He has a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Design from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities.
