Best Of Access Utah With Ken Sanders On Wednesday's Access Utah

City Weekly

It’s a pledge drive special edition of Access Utah today. My special guest for the hour is Ken Sanders from Ken Sanders Rare Books in Salt Lake City. We’ll reach into the archives for parts of some of our favorite episodes of the program. We’ll hear from Evelyn Funda, Associate Dean of the USU College of Humanities and Social Sciences and author of “Weeds: A Farm Daughter’s Lament.” Evelyn Funda will tell us the gripping story of her mother’s escape from communist Czechoslovakia. Then we’ll hear part of my conversation with Colin Dickey, author of the forthcoming book “The Unidentified,” about conspiracy theories. And Ken Sanders will read poems of Ken Brewer and prose of Edward Abbey. We’ll invite you to pledge your support to UPR to ensure that Access Utah continues strong.

Tom Williams worked as a part-time UPR announcer for a few years and joined Utah Public Radio full-time in 1996. He is a proud graduate of Uintah High School in Vernal and Utah State University (B. A. in Liberal Arts and Master of Business Administration.) He grew up in a family that regularly discussed everything from opera to religion to politics. He is interested in just about everything and loves to engage people in conversation, so you could say he has found the perfect job as host “Access Utah.” He and his wife Becky, live in Logan.
