About this time last year, we talked with station managers of several public radio stations in Utah. This was in the wake of the loss of federal funding with the elimination of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

On this episode we check back, one year later, with Gavin Dahl, executive director of KRCL, and UPR Station Manager Frank Mueller. We talk about what has happened in the past year and look to the future.
