Rachel Estabrook

Rachel Estabrook is listed by CPR as an editor, producer and reporter at CPR News (KCFR). If you’ve listened to Colorado Today or Colorado in Depth, her team is behind the scenes making those shows happen.

Joining CPR in 2013

According to her CPR author page, Rachel joined CPR in 2013 on the staff of Colorado Matters, reporting, producing and editing hundreds of stories. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Spanish language and literature from George Washington University and a master’s in journalism from Stanford.

News director, then audio projects

Rachel served as CPR’s news director from 2018 to 2022. The author page now describes the job as managing the Audio Projects team in the newsroom and overseeing production of the Colorado Today and Colorado in Depth podcasts. Her Amplify Colorado profile lists beats including business and finance, crime and justice, housing, immigration and water, with a focus on immigrant communities, how people make a living, accountability for systems, and Indigenous communities. She works in English and Spanish.

A few of the projects

The Colorado Broadcasters Association (CBA) credits Rachel on a long run of CPR team projects from 2019 through 2025, including Since Columbine, the Parched podcast, coverage of the Elijah McClain case, a look at how Colorado counts your ballot, and a series on restoring what was lost for Indigenous people in Colorado.

Ann Marie Awad

Ann Marie Awad is described on an author page as a Denver-based audio journalist who created and hosts the podcast On Something, which looks at life in Colorado after cannabis legalization. If you listened to On Something when it ran on Colorado Public Radio, you know the voice.

On Something

The Colorado Broadcasters Association (CBA) credits Ann Marie on the podcast in 2019 (as CPR’s On Something, with Brad Turner and Curtis Fox) and again in 2020 for an episode titled Cannabis on the Menu (with Rebekah Romberg and Dennis Funk). Both credits list KCFR, Colorado Public Radio’s flagship.

Freelance audio work

An author page that carries Ann Marie’s biography describes a freelance audio journalist who is editorial director of the Institute for Independent Journalists, was a 2022 reporting fellow with the UC Center for the Science of Psychedelics, and has produced, edited or consulted on podcast projects for WAMU, SONOS and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University. The same page says the broadcast work has aired on NPR’s All Things Considered, WBUR’s Here and Now and public radio stations in Colorado, Philadelphia and Louisiana.

Abigail Beckman

Abigail Beckman is a public radio reporter and host who spent six years at KRCC, CPR’s station for Southern Colorado, according to the CPR author page (2018 to 2024). If you tuned in for news out of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region, this is a name you may remember.

Path to the radio

Abigail studied mass communications and Spanish, followed by a master’s degree in communications. Before KRCC, the Aspen Public Radio profile says Abigail worked at the Dodge City Daily Globe in Kansas and at 89.1 KMUW in Wichita, and produced a documentary about the Wichita State University plane crash. Reporting has also aired on NPR programs including Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

KRCC and CPR

At KRCC the beat covered Colorado Springs and the surrounding area: a man trying to push a peanut up Pikes Peak with his nose, farmworker protection laws and what they could mean for Colorado crops, and the Club Q shooting and its court case. The Colorado Broadcasters Association (CBA) credits also include a 2019 report on a Colorado Springs State of the City address that was disrupted by demonstrators, and a 2023 CPR project, A year since Club Q, shared with colleagues at CPR News (KCFR). More recent bylines appear on Aspen Public Radio’s site; we haven’t confirmed Abigail’s current role.

Alicia Iannone

Alicia Iannone is a name from small-market Colorado radio promotions. The Colorado Broadcasters Association (CBA) credits Alicia on station contest and promotion work at KNNG and KATR, the kind of on-air giveaways that get listeners calling in.

Promotions at KNNG and KATR

In 2022 the CBA credits Alicia for a KNNG-FM promotion called Party on the Patio Winner. In 2024 the credit moves to KATR-FM, for an on-air contest called Rodeo Rides and Vegas Vibes. If you listened to either station in those years, you may have heard Alicia’s work.

This is a short page built from published credits. We have not found a bio, so Alicia’s job title, background and dates at each station are not listed. If you worked with Alicia or have more to add, we’d love to hear from you.

Tony Driskill

Tony Driskill is credited as general manager of KKXK, 94 Kix Country in Montrose, and on imaging and sales work for it and its sister station KSNN, in Colorado Broadcasters Association (CBA) results.

This is a short stub. The CBA pages show the credits, and one lists the name with “GM,” but we couldn’t find a biography or dates. If you know more of the story, send it in with the suggestion form.

General manager credit

In the 2020 medium-market results, the 94 Kix Country Marketing Grant promotion is credited to “GM Tony Driskill,” the only entry where a job title is given. If you remember Kix running a grant for local businesses on the Western Slope, this is that campaign.

Imaging and sales

Tony shares two 2020 imaging credits with D.J. Roberts, one for 94 Kix Country and one for 103.7 The River. In 2019 Tony and Kylah Jones were credited on a sales campaign for First Colorado National Bank.

Jordan “Superman” Lyles

Jordan “Superman” Lyles is a Colorado radio host credited with the afternoon show Superman In The Afternoon and the podcast Community Conversations on KSKE, the Ski Country Radio station.

This is a short stub. The CBA pages list the shows and projects but give no bio or dates, and we couldn’t find a station biography. If you know more of the story, send it in with the suggestion form.

Superman in the afternoon

The CBA’s 2022 medium-market results list Superman In The Afternoon as an afternoon show. If you spent your afternoon drive in the mountains with Ski Country Radio on, that’s the slot. Two years later, Community Conversations turns up in the podcast results, credited to Jordan “Superman” Lyles.

Ski Country Radio website

Earlier credits are for the station’s website, SkiCountryRadio.com, in the 2019 and 2020 results, both shared with Kyle McCoy and credited to Jordan Lyles.

Kat Seibert

Kat Seibert, credited by the CBA as Katarina Seibert on some entries, hosted the evening show Flavor Radio on KWSB, the student-run station at Western Colorado University in Gunnison.

Flavor Radio

The Colorado Broadcasters Association’s 2019 small-market results list Flavor Radio with Kat Seibert as an evening show. If you were tuned in to 91.1 in Gunnison on a weeknight, that was the student-powered kind of radio where the host picks the sound.

Public service announcements

The same year the CBA credited two PSAs to Katarina Seibert, one on plastics and one called She Jumps. A Western Colorado University news story about KWSB’s CBA results also credits a Katarina Seibert with the audio production on a promotional spot for the Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League. It doesn’t give the year of that spot, so it isn’t listed under awards here.

KWSB is licensed to Western Colorado University and, according to Wikipedia, is staffed by students; it competes in the CBA’s small-market division.

News at Krystal 93

The station’s Krystal 93 team page describes Phil as the newsman who covers Summit County local issues, breaking news and mountain rescues, and says free time goes to the outdoors.

Walter Gallacher

Walter Gallacher is the host of Immigrant Stories on KDNK, Carbondale’s community radio station, a monthly show where immigrants tell their own stories.

Immigrant Stories

KDNK says the program airs on the third Tuesday of each month and features people from around the world sharing stories of survival, alienation, persistence and triumph. If you’ve caught it, you’ve heard neighbors, from a high school principal to a chef who left Ukraine, talk about how they ended up in the valley. The host said on the station’s site that the show has run for more than sixteen years, and in one episode describes the host’s own family’s reasons for leaving Ireland.

In the CBA results

Colorado Broadcasters Association (CBA) results carry Walter’s name three times: an interview with John Goodwin about community-centered police work in 2020, Immigrant Stories in 2022 (credited with Paul Freeman, the Glenwood Springs High School principal who was the guest), and the same category again in 2024 (credited with Kathleen Fitzsimmons). KDNK reported that Walter was at the April 2023 gala in person for the 2022 recognition.
