What? You’ve never heard of Paonia? Okay, it’s not in NYS, or Vermont, or southern Ontario. It’s in Colorado.

A bit of downtown Paonia.
Last week, I visited a wonderful community station there, KVNF. General Manager Sally Kane had invited me out to lead a conversation–with station staff and board members–about expanding local news coverage.

KVNF Board member Linda Bacigalupi at the entrance to KVNF's wonderful new studio. (Linda and her husband Ralph D'Alessandro were my wonderfully gracious hosts for the visit.)

Entrance to KVNF, including some of the amazing photos of their volunteer music hosts.

Not many smiles here, but the Board and I had fun. Really, we did.

No caption needed.
Ellen, did you happen to catch Jonathan Brown on air while you were within earshot of Colorado Public Radio?
Jonathan is now Colorado Public Radio’s Morning Edition host. I listened, briefly, but didn’t hear him.
