Mary May grew up listening to National Public Radio from every sound system in her childhood and could not pass up the opportunity to join the long line of radio personae by sharing songs that rarely make the airwaves — although Hall and Oates is guaranteed to occasionally make it into the rotation.

Alyssa Murphy is from Texas and made her way up to Alaska in 2009 on a road trip that still hasn’t ended. She currently works in the environmental field and earned a diploma in Social Music from her parents “forcing” her to play piano for 12 years in a row. She enjoys music from all genres, especially anything she can dance to (even country and gangster rap.)

Ed Ward is the rock-and-roll historian on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross.

Julia joined KUER in 2016 after a year reporting at the NPR member station in Reno, Nev. During her stint, she covered battleground politics, school overcrowding, and any story that would take her to the crystal blue shores of Lake Tahoe. Her work earned her two regional Edward R. Murrow awards. Originally from the mountains of Western North Carolina, Julia graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2008 with a degree in journalism. She’s worked as both a print and radio reporter in several states and several countries — from the 2008 Beijing Olympics to Dakar, Senegal. Her curiosity about the American West led her to take a spontaneous, one-way road trip to the Great Basin, where she intends to continue preaching the gospel of community journalism, public radio and podcasting. In her spare time, you’ll find her hanging with her beagle Bodhi, taking pictures of her food and watching Patrick Swayze movies.
