This Week on RadioACTive, M-F at 6PM

Weeknights from 6-7 PM, RadioACTive passes the mic to grassroots activists, community builders, punk rock farmers, and DIY makers and musicians. This week on the show, expect lots of homegrown music for Utah Music Month and the following guests:

Monday, Aug. 10: RadioACTive Pop! goes big and bold, talking murals and muses with Salt Lake muralist Beto Conejo. He and his friends have just returned from the Chicano Hollywood Film Festival, where Taking Shape, a documentary short about his work with incarcerated youth, was an official selection. Plus, a sneak peek at this weekend’s Westside Culture Fest, featuring Allie Violin.

Tuesday, Aug. 11: Mutual aid continues in Midvale, where hundreds of folks lost everything in the fire that destroyed the North Union Apartments earlier this month. Residents join the show to talk about recovery, including disputes with the property owner whose leases, they say, led them to believe they had renters’ insurance. Plus, Friendly Island Tongan Festival, Every Kid Outdoors, and Salt Lake Book Festival.

Wednesday, Aug. 12: Art and commerce collide in tonight’s RadioACTive. Tune in to hear from Zachary Fabri, a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist exploring Utah's salt landscapes, extraction, and cultural memory during an eight-week residence at Ogden Contemporary Arts. A preview of Macb*tches, a dark comedy take on Macbeth with an all-female cast. Plus, Scenic Utah, a nonprofit protecting Utah’s scenic communities, skylines, and roadways by fighting billboard blight and other forms of visual and light pollution. 

Thursday, Aug. 13: It’s a Utah Music Month Special! Curated by RA Music Editor Connor Estes, the hour will feature some of our favorite homegrown bands and musicians this year. Plus, Meet the DJs — Monster 1 and Monster 2 — of Rotten Radio.

Friday, Aug. 14: RadioACTive’s Punk Rock Farmer Friday celebrates Utah Music Month with DAve Crespo's After Party. More True Tales of the Agrihood with Web Regenerative Agriculture, a family farm in the making on 27 acres in Summit, UT. Plus, Skywatcher Leo T’s Many Cultures One Sky, and the future of the weekly 999 Ride.
