Boise State Public Radio Music ushers in new shows after Arthur Balinger’s retirement

Diane Raptosh Reads Her Poem, "Husband"

Diane Raptosh, February's writer-curator on Something I Heard, reads her poem, "Husband," to close out the month.

Raptosh has served as Idaho’s Writer in Residence, and her 2013 poetry collection, American Amnesiac, was longlisted for the National Book Award. Her latest collection, I Eric America, came out in October 2024.

I started working with Boise State Public Radio in 2018, first as a freelance podcaster of You Know The Place, and later as a contract producer for Reader’s Corner. The former ran for six award-winning seasons, visiting funeral homes, ostrich farms and nude retreats for the story. The latter is now in its 22nd year of interviewing NYT-bestselling, Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning authors.
