Somewhere In-Between: A Radio ‘Zine
(2020 – current): This half-hour program features news, culture, music, stories and more, all hosted by Austin Rich. In the true style of any ‘zine, there is an open submission policy.
Somewhere between This American Life and the DIY philosophy that seems to drive all underground culture, this program is trying to bring radio production to stories you don’t usually hear on the radio. This program is weekly, but every three months we air a handful of re-runs. You can currently catch is live on KMUZ at 10:30 AM, Friday mornings (PST), and is available as a podcast both in iTunes and in the aggregator of your choice, too.
