Elder Voices
The Elders of Western Alaska share stories, lessons and tradition. The Elder Voices program airs on KNOM at 11 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on Wednesdays. Shorter-form spots, Elder Wisdom, air throughout the week.
Please note: the links to the audio files are not working at this time. We are currently reproducing the original files for better sound and quality, and will soon be working on new interviews. We will upload the new files once they are complete. There is not currently an estimated date of completion, however, if you are looking for a specific interview, please email programming@knom.org to see if we can assist you. You can still listen on our airwaves or on our online stream at knom.org/radio during the scheduled times.
