Autumn among the aspens.

Featured on the November 14, 2024 edition of ARIZONA SPOTLIGHT with host Mark McLemore:

  • Danyelle Khmara talks with Lyse Doucet, the Chief International Correspondent for the BBC. Doucet was presented with the 2024 Zenger Award for Press Freedom from the University of Arizona School of Journalism, in recognition of her reporting on armed conflicts and human rights around the world.

  • Nature writer Rebekah Doyle shares her love for the season of autumn, and the unique pleasure of walking through an aspen grove with multi-colored leaves, blue sky, and a chill in the air.

  • Birdwatching is one of our state’s most popular outdoor activities, and Tony Paniagua talks with author and avid birder Richard Cachor Taylor about his book Birds of Arizona. It is a field guide to more than 500 of Arizona’s native species, including 17 varieties of hummingbird, plus many new observations about their activities.
