Downtown Albuquerque News Editor, Peter Rice, started out young in journalism. As a teenager growing up in Washington State, he worked in community radio and later for a consortium of NPR stations. While attending Colorado College, he wrote features for the Colorado Springs Gazette and the Denver Business Journal. He later worked as a general assignment reporter for the Curry Coastal Pilot on the southern Oregon coast, on the city hall beat for the Albuquerque Tribune, and as an announcer/news writer for KUNM.Having noticed the grim direction the journalism industry was heading, he retreated for several years from the business and put in stints as an electrician, video producer, and public relations jack-of-all-trades. He probably should have been content with this, but the siren call of reporting proved too strong in the end – hence, DAN.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Generation Justice deeply mourns the loss of Matthew Finch, the Music Director of KUNM. Mateo, as we called him, was a fundamental anchor of support for us at Generation Justice and before that-- The KUNM Youth Radio Project. In the span of 19 years, Mateo was always a step and phone call away to offer us support. He trained so so many youths on how to use the massive music library. He loved providing training on music history, genres, and artists. He often gave us music and advice on how to blend our sounds and bed music for our productions. He was so committed to artists who needed KUNM airwaves as a vehicle to share their talent and that commitment as we know focused on New Mexican talent. Mateo, just last week, I let you know we were again going to be calling on you to train youth at KUNM--- Your last words to me were--- “I'm looking forward to it.” Roberta Rael “Matthew, your physical loss is a very difficult thing for all of us who had the privilege of knowing you. The KUNM music library will feel very empty without you. Gracias por la pasión tan grande que tenías por la música y por destacar la música local Nuevo Mexicana. Gracias por los Cds que nos compartiste, la ayuda que nos diste, y por ser la persona que eras. Humildemente continuaremos tu legado de respeto y amor por la música. I had the privilege of interviewing Matthew in November of 2022 for a video class. We'd like to share this memory with you.” Barbara Ramirez, GJ Associate Producer

This month we are excited to have Talaya Trigueros, on-air talent/host of Sirius XM Watercolors Channel 66 (Monday through Saturday) and occasionally of Real Jazz Channel 67. In this episode, Talaya discusses the beginning of her radio career at the University of New Mexico's KUNM playing Latin Jazz and Salsa, followed by a move to San Francisco where KRE-AM, a legendary Jazz station in Berkeley, quickly hired her. There she was given her own show, Sabor y Salsa, and due to her stellar ratings in the Bay Area, the company transferred her to Los Angeles to launch The Quiet Storm at KUTE. While there she was the first in the country to interview Sade and play "Smooth Operator,” a favorite artist and song from fans alike. In 1988, The WAVE hired her in Los Angeles where she remained for many years. As a consummate professional, Talaya has received numerous awards including the inaugural 1998 R&R Industry Achievement Award for Smooth Jazz On-Air Personality, the GENII Award for Excellence in Radio from Alliance for Women in Media, the National Hispanic Media Coalition along with honorary recognitions from the Los Angeles County and City Board of Supervisors and the prestigious Angelus Award.
