GREAT TAPE: HELLO FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD

KZMU News · Great Tape: Hello From The Neighborhood

KJ AT THE SWAMP

“I’ve been dirt bagging, living out of a car for the last seven years. But I’m living in luxury now. The fact that [the swamp] is in town has just changed my life. Like, I’ve been able to finally progress…Like, it’s a home. It’s an actual home. And I haven’t had a home in such a long time.” 

— KJ Nielson

NIGH ONES: A DREAM TRAVELOGUE

“Once we get used to listening to our dreams, our whole body responds like a musical instrument.” — Marion Woodman

Nigh Ones: A Dream Travelogue is read and written by Shari Zollinger. Carrying Her Stone is a collection of Zollinger’s poems based on the works of Auguste Rodin. Find it at Back of Beyond Books in Moab or online.

NEIGHBOR TO NEIGHBOR RESOURCE LIST

“The older I get, it seems more and more important to me to see other people and to allow yourself to be seen. It’s such a privilege to be able to see into somebody’s heart and to have them share a need with you. And for me, to have a need and to trust somebody to ask.” 

—Susan Roche

RON IN CASTLE VALLEY

“We had a property owners association. And so we would have those POA meetings every month. And everybody here has their own individual opinions. Pretty strong opinions at times…It was pretty exciting sometimes. You went to see a fight and every once in a while a property owners meeting would break out.”

–Ron Drake

MOAB’S LIVING ROOM

“The library is the place where you don’t have to ever believe something or buy something to come in here and stay and enjoy the space. Everyone is welcome.”

–Meg Flynn, Grand County Public Library Assistant Director

BRITTNEY REMEMBERS PACK CREEK

“Friends. They were all friends. Everybody was friends and it was kind of a tight knit area. If you needed something, I could open my back door and holler at my neighbor…like ‘I need eggs or do you have this tool or that tool’…and it was kind of the same way, he’d come knock on [my] back door.” 

—Brittney Tucker 

Listen here.

PETE SANDS COMES ON HOME

“It’s the small towns that really listen to you. And that’s what I learned on the road…if you take your heart on the road, you take it to people who listen to it, places like Moab or Durango or Flagstaff, then they will listen to you. The crowd will take their time out and…give you a chance.” 

—Pete Sands

Pete Sands is a musician, photographer and most recently podcast host. You can find his podcast Coffee Before Honky Tonkin’ on the KZMU Public Affairs feed. His latest single Black Dog is available across platforms now.

DIDAR ON THE MILL CREEK CORNER

“In Turkey we say, ‘don’t buy home – buy neighbor.’ Like, if you have that opportunity, do that. And our neighbors, we know who they are and they are such great people. We share a driveway and see each other and talk everyday almost.”

–Didar Charles

Listen here.

MIGRANT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RADIO

“A lot of it is music because migrants don’t have a lot of time to entertain themselves or money. So free radio is great and they’re able to make requests for songs, and make requests for friends elsewhere…hoping that they hear it just like anywhere else in the world.”

—Brahm Press, Migrant Assistance Program Foundation Director

Listen here.

MARLENE IN SPANISH VALLEY

“We formed a coalition with some of the neighbors…just so that we had some kind of organization to go to the council meetings and talk with some knowledge and sense. And believe me, all the people on the coalition are way more savvy than I am. But I can stand up and talk. And I know what I’m dealing with, you know? Right next door.” 

—Marlene Huckabay

HOMELESS ADVOCACY WITH WIN

“So we just started talking and he said he could use a sleeping bag. So I got him a sleeping bag and I brought it back to him and he said, ‘they told me you were homeless for a long time.’ And I said ‘yeah, I was homeless for almost ten years in Miami, in Florida.’ And he said, ‘so you understand, right?’ And I said, ‘I do, I really do.’ And I think that gave him more comfort.”

GREAT TAPE: OFF TO THE RACES

Great Tape Rebroadcast!

November 25, 2022 | By Admin

Hi listener. The holiday season is upon us, which means you can expect some special programming occasionally in the interest of taking a little rest. Like today! We are rebroadcasting the first issue of Great Tape, an audio magazine from KZMU News. Each show will have a different theme explored from a variety of perspectives.

We are at work on our second issue! The theme is NEIGHBORHOOD. If you want to contribute to that project, please reach out to news@kzmu.org.

Now, to our first-ever issue of Great Tape. The theme here was OFF TO THE RACES. In this episode we jump from one daily race to another in Moab — following a baker, newspaper editor, delivery man and nursing-home resident. We also have stories about political races, the race to exterminate an invasive plant and the race to put goods on our shelves. And we have fiction and music! We have a radio drama about Moab’s only Uber driver, an excerpt from a book about discovering the West and a song about deep time and the imperceptible natural rhythms of our environment. Enjoy.
