SPEAKING OF WRITING: From Juliane Marie Couch in Laramie: “Some folks might like to know about a radio program in Laramie called “Speaking of Writing.” It is broadcast from a low-power community radio station, KOCA LP 93.5 FM, which can be heard in Laramie and the Laramie Valley. "Speaking of Writing" has been broadcast weekly since January. It is sponsored in part by UW English department's creative writing program, but was actually dreamed up by a few people in town interested in writers and radio. Our guests have ranged from nationally and internationally known writers who come to UW as guest writers (Gerard Donovan, Emily Fox Gordon), to statewide and local writers who've made a name for themselves (Rick Maturi, Chavawn Kelly). Everyone we have on the program is a published writer, although we'll probably do some shows this summer featuring young Laramie writers. Program hosts are Jeffe Kennedy, Suzanne Bopp, and myself. is a bilingual community radio station offering mostly satellite programming through Radio Bilingue. It also offers some local programming, mostly music, but some talk shows like “Speaking of Writing.” The show airs each Thursday from 4-4:30 p.m. Any of your readers passing through town might give it a listen. Anyone wishing to appear as a guest on the program, chat about writing, and do a little reading, could contact us. FMI: jcouch@uwyo.edu. EDITOR’S NOTE: Jeffe Kennedy will interview me June 23 on “Speaking of Writing.”
