It was an added bonus that Colorado offers a lot of options for the leisure activities my wife and I enjoy, including traveling, listening to live music and attending sporting events.

I don't play much anymore (piano and flute), but all of those lessons have paid off in spades. I actually started as a news reporter, but the station I worked for at the time also aired classical music. Since I had a background in music the program director trained me to host classical music (overnights at first).

We had several groups of kids come to our studios to pick up their instruments and they all talked about how without these instruments they would have to share an instrument or not have one to play at all. Music can change your life – I know I wouldn't be the same without it – and I was so honored to be part of something that has the ability to do that for others.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFavorite composer and piece:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nHow can I limit it to just one piece? I can't – so here are two that I really love. JS Bach's Mass in B minor. The emotional depth of this piece is staggering. The “Crucifixus” in particular breaks my heart every time I hear it. On the other end of the spectrum I love Philip Glass' Violin Concerto.

I grew up in a musical family. Mom played piano, Dad blared classical music from the stereo to get us kids up on the weekends and we regularly attended orchestra concerts. My two older sisters played piano. We also sang together as kids in a trio led by my (bossy!) oldest sister. I have perfect pitch, so I made sure nobody went off key. I also constantly bugged the church choir director about people singing out of tune. She really hated that coming from an eight-year-old child.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI began violin at age six on a whim because of Mom: “Oh, I wish somebody would learn to play that violin we have in the attic.” I’ve been playing since and I truly believe it’s the hardest of all instruments.

Jessi also hosted the station’s morning show on and off from 2008-2011. Prior to that, she was Radio 1190’s volunteer coordinator, scheduling events, recruiting new volunteers and creating promotional materials for the station.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ \u0026amp; A\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow did you become interested in music?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first song I remember falling in love with was “California Girls” by the Beach Boys. I was born and raised in California so in my young mind, the song was about me and me alone. I’d lay on the floor with my headphones on listening to that one song over and over. After a while I digested other tracks on that record, and so began my search for more relatable, stimulating music. In my parents’ collections I found They Might Be Giants, Janis Joplin, Moody Blues and the many others that helped me on my path of musical discovery. After I moved to Colorado, seeing live music became a necessary outlet during my angstier tween and teenage years. I’d dance and sing along to bands like The Faint, Tilly and the Wall and Matson Jones. From then on it was clear that I would surround myself with music in as many capacities as possible. I made it my mission to unearth the best of new and old music. I’d research, construct lists, build mix tapes and see upwards of three shows a week. I was even voted “Most Music Savvy” in high school. Since then, music has become much more than a passion; it’s my life force.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow did you get into radio?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was gifted a radio around the time my family moved from California to Colorado. During that awkward stint being “the new girl,” I adopted a series of radio hosts as my best friends. The L.A.-based morning crew of Jamie, Frosty and Frank would wake me up and keep me company before I went to school every day. It wasn’t long before I began constructing my own mix tapes where I was DJ. I attempted to emulate my radio idols and dubbed myself DJ Ringo. When I got to college, I immediately involved myself with the campus radio station, Radio 1190. I worked there for five amazing years, the last two of which I spent as music director, which ignited my love of radio programming. Today I am lucky enough to live out my early dream of being a radio host on OpenAir, though this reality far outshines any fantasy I had built.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow did you end up at CPR?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people are just lucky and I certainly was to end up at CPR.

flagship daily interview program from CPR News. His voice is heard on frequencies around the state as he talks with Coloradans from all walks of life — politicians, scientists, artists, activists and others. Ryan's interviews with Colorado's governor now span four administrations. During his tenure, Colorado Matters has consistently been recognized as the best major market public radio talk show in the country. He speaks French, geeks out on commercial aviation, adores and tolerates his tuxedo cat Bob, and owns too many shoes.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional background\u003c/strong\u003e:\u003cbr /\u003e\nRyan came to CPR from WGCU in Fort Myers, Fla.

I don't play much anymore (piano and flute), but all of those lessons have paid off in spades. I actually started as a news reporter, but the station I worked for at the time also aired classical music.

Jessi also hosted the station’s morning show on and off from 2008-2011. Prior to that, she was Radio 1190’s volunteer coordinator, scheduling events, recruiting new volunteers and creating promotional materials for the station.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ \u0026amp; A\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow did you become interested in music?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first song I remember falling in love with was “California Girls” by the Beach Boys. I was born and raised in California so in my young mind, the song was about me and me alone. I’d lay on the floor with my headphones on listening to that one song over and over. After a while I digested other tracks on that record, and so began my search for more relatable, stimulating music. In my parents’ collections I found They Might Be Giants, Janis Joplin, Moody Blues and the many others that helped me on my path of musical discovery. After I moved to Colorado, seeing live music became a necessary outlet during my angstier tween and teenage years. I’d dance and sing along to bands like The Faint, Tilly and the Wall and Matson Jones. From then on it was clear that I would surround myself with music in as many capacities as possible. I made it my mission to unearth the best of new and old music. I’d research, construct lists, build mix tapes and see upwards of three shows a week. I was even voted “Most Music Savvy” in high school. Since then, music has become much more than a passion; it’s my life force.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow did you get into radio?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was gifted a radio around the time my family moved from California to Colorado. During that awkward stint being “the new girl,” I adopted a series of radio hosts as my best friends. The L.A.-based morning crew of Jamie, Frosty and Frank would wake me up and keep me company before I went to school every day. It wasn’t long before I began constructing my own mix tapes where I was DJ. I attempted to emulate my radio idols and dubbed myself DJ Ringo. When I got to college, I immediately involved myself with the campus radio station, Radio 1190. I worked there for five amazing years, the last two of which I spent as music director, which ignited my love of radio programming. Today I am lucky enough to live out my early dream of being a radio host on OpenAir, though this reality far outshines any fantasy I had built.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow did you end up at CPR?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people are just lucky and I certainly was to end up at CPR.

So, it was a perfect fit. I grew up in a political family, and we always talked about issues and politics at the dinner table.

I think the most powerful stories are the ones told by those who are affected, whether it be health care reform, welfare, education, justice issues or the economy. And, I enjoy telling those stories.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy I got into radio\u003c/strong\u003e:\u003cbr /\u003e\nWhile I was in journalism school, I was offered the chance to help out at WBAI – a public radio station in New York City. I had written a story for school on Amerasian children who moved here from Vietnam after the war. The folks at WBAI let me turn it into a radio story – and I was hooked. I liked it better than print because radio adds a special texture to a story. And I preferred radio to television because I think people being interviewed are more honest when they talk into a microphone, rather than a camera.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow I ended up at CPR\u003c/strong\u003e:\u003cbr /\u003e\nI was newly married, and my husband wanted to move to the mountains.
