Nick Forster, the founder and CEO of eTown, a member of the award-winning band Hot Rize, and a true Boulder icon, brings his signature warmth and insight to The Talk of Our Town. This series invites notable guests to dive deep into the people, culture, and stories that have made Boulder the city it is today.

eTown’s Talk of Our Town series continues with a special evening in partnership with KGNU, Boulder’s independent, listener-supported radio station and a cornerstone of the community for nearly half a century.

As KGNU prepares to move into a new home, this conversation looks both backward and forward. What has KGNU meant to Boulder over the years, and how does it carry that spirit into a new space? What does community radio look like now, and what does it need to become next?

Hosted by eTown founder Nick Forster, the evening features KGNU General Manager Tim Russo, Music Director Indra Raj and longtime KGNU contributor Fergus Stone in conversation about the station’s history, its role in amplifying local voices and music and the opportunities ahead as it enters this next chapter.

Talk of Our Town invites both longtime locals and newcomers to gather, listen and reflect on the people and ideas that continue to shape Boulder, and this one feels especially timely.
