Why is public radio music important?

Boise State Public Radio

If you listen to other radio stations, you'll often hear the same few songs over and over - with the same line up day to day.

But on public radio you can hear a broad range of diverse sounds and styles from classical to blues to the Grateful Dead. And what better day to celebrate this variety then on Public Radio Music Day!

Carl Scheider is the host of Private Idaho, which airs Saturdays on our sister station KBSU FM and we invited him on Idaho Matters to talk about all things music.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
