Mark Russell in Yuma

Arizona Edition - Friday night at the Gila Ridge High School Performing Arts Center, piano-playing political satirist Mark Russell, of PBS fame, will bring his one man show to Yuma for the first time.  Russell’s been mining comedy from politics for decades, sparing no one, regardless of political party or ideology.  Russell tells KAWC’s Lou Gum he is happy to bring his show to Yuma, as he has a connection to Arizona.  He’s also really happy to see the sun…(originally aired 03/12/14).

This piece was featured in the March 12th Arizona Edition.  Other pieces featured in the show can be found below in the related content section.

Lou grew up in Tucson and has a long family history in the state of Arizona. He began his public radio career in 1988 at KNAU in Flagstaff as a classical music DJ and has been hooked on public radio since, transitioning to news after trying his hand at several other careers in publishing and commercial broadcasting. Lou has a degree in American Studies from Arizona State University and was KAWC's Morning Edition host for two and half years before becoming News and Operations Director.
