Ken Waldman fiddler, poet, and author of 11 books joined us Live In-Studio on Thursday May 23rd. Even though it's been close to 20 years since his last Live In-Studio session at KNBA, Ken and I picked right up where we last left off... talking about a Week in Eek. He’s in town now playing the fiddle and signing copies of his new book Now Entering Alaska Time. Ken Waldman has drawn on 37 years as an Alaska resident to produce poems, stories, and fiddle tunes that combine into a performance uniquely his.

Loren’s been on the Radio in Anchorage for 40 of the 50+ years he's lived here. Since the mid 80's he's worked with Anchorage radio stations including KWHL, KFQD, KKLV, KHAR and KMXS. His passion for programming a station and the 'Triple-A' radio format began in the early 90’s which led to him to help establish the format on KNBA when the station signed on in 1996. When not on the radio hosting a music show and interviewing local and national music acts, he may be hosting a stage at the Salmonfest music festival, carving a snow sculpture during Fur Rendezvous, on a road trip adventure, or hanging out in his hometown Anchorage.
