À propos de cet audio

 In response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the faculty and staff of the Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies began working from home and teaching online. Now that faculty and students are returning to campus and having more opportunities for face-to-face interactions, we almost feel like we need to re-introduce ourselves to our colleagues and students. The same is true for other schools and departments in the College of Urban Affairs and across the university. Since we boast a new podcasting studio and classes in podcasting, audio announcing, audio production, and audio storytelling, we believe that the best way to introduce ourselves is by sharing the personal stories and backgrounds of our faculty and staff. The goal is to introduce each of our faculty and staff members to students, the public, and each other. Starting with these podcasts, we hope to build a podcasting network devoted to helping students and the public meet the people who teach the classes, conduct the research, and manage media operations. We also hope to get to know each other better and build a richer academic community. So lend an ear to the personal stories of the faculty and staff preparing students for a promising future.© 2025 UNLV Hank Greenspun School of Journalism & Media Studies

    In this episode, hosts Kevin Stoker and Dave Nourse turn the tables (or microphone, rather) on Dr. Ashton Ridley, General Manager of KUNV 91.5 FM, to explore his journey in public radio and higher education. Dr. Ridley traces his path from a chance high school internship at KCEP to a 20+ year career mentoring hundreds of young broadcasters. He reflects on how education from workforce development to public policy shaped his management philosophy and prepared him to lead one of Las Vegas’s most successful public radio stations. The conversation also touches on Dr. Ridley's life as a military child, his commitment to paying it forward, and how he balances work, family, and continuous community engagement.
