6–7pm | 90.9fm KRCL Radio
Originally conceived of as a live storytelling event at the UMFA’s Katherine W. and Ezekiel R. Dumke Jr Auditorium, this show was set to take place in the Spring of 2020 in conjunction with UMFA's ACME Lab exhibition, Utah Women Working for Better Days! Now, Because of Her: Stories of Women Making a Difference will be presented as a special edition of KRCL’s RadioActive, produced by Lara Jones and hosted by Giuliana Serena of The Bee. This hour-long broadcast will feature true, personal stories from Utah women of action, about the women who have made a significant difference in their lives and work. Tune in to 90.9fm KRCL or krcl.org to listen from 6–7pm Tuesday, October 6th, exactly one month before the general election.
