July 14: RadioACTive Pop talks pop culture and politics with Gabi and Jackie of Elevate - The New Utah Way. Plus, American Ninja Warriors, Survivors at the Summit, Paint Your Heart Out, and Spy Hop Audio Apprenticeship with the debut of a new RadioACTive theme song.
Tune in for the new RadioACTive theme song, our third collaboration with Spy Hop Audio Apprentices. Apprentice Mendela joins us to talk about the project and process.
Tonight is the first round of the semifinals on American Ninja Warrior (Mondays, 7 PM, NBC) and Utah is representing in the latest season. RadioACTive catches up with athletes and brothers Kai Beckstrand (18, St. George) and Luke Beckstrand (17, St. George). Look for them next Monday, July 21, in round 2 of ANW semifinals.
Dana Levy and Mickey Ottonelli of Survivor Wellness fill us in on the nonprofit's annual Survivors at the Summit, July 27 @ Brighton. Started in 1996, Survivors at the Summit honors and supports the cancer survivor community with a day in the mountains filled with fellowship and outdoor activities, all under a sea of yellow Tribute Flags carrying messages of love, hope, honor, and remembrance.
Gabi Finlayson, Jackie Morgan and Ben Haynes founded Elevate Campaign Strategies to lend their combined 35 years of campaign experience to candidates on the progressive side of the aisle. Gabi and Jackie have become political "influencers" with their irreverent takes on Instagram. Three days ago, they posted a video clapping back at Utah's congressional delegation for an op-ed in the Deseret News explaining why they voted for Trump's tax bill.
