GET INVOLVED: If you have a story idea for RadioACTive and a song to match, then let's hear it! Sound Off to RadioACTive via the KRCL Public Radio App—free wherever you get your apps. Click Menu > Talk to KRCL > Sound Off to RadioACTive. You can use it to send us audio, video, and pictures. It's about 60 seconds, so make it count!

  • SAY MORE: If you've got more to say than the app gives you time for, then record a message on your smartphone and email it to radioactive@krcl.org.

HAVE YOUR BEATS USED ON RADIOACTIVE: We try to support all things local in all that we do, and that means using locally produced music for our bed music and promos. If you're a beatmaker in Utah, send over your work, and we might use it behind the scenes on the show! Fill out our form!
