Midday Metro starts at 11 a.m.

University of Utah Masters in Architecture students are putting their talents to work tackling everything from downtown planning to humanitarian relief.  Midday Metro goes to the source with Ryan McMullen and Matthew Swindel, who are trying to make a difference through their senior projects.

Plus, David Whyte is speaking at the Utah Arts Council's Mountain West Conference on the Arts this week. Midday Metro goes to the source on "Life at the Frontier: Leadership through Courageous Conversation."

Today's water week poem comes from Lilli De Cair, who was declared champion at a poetry slam sponsored by the SLC Dept. of Public Utilities. Click the audio button below to hear De Cair's "Love Is Like Water." Thanks to Stephanie Duer for bringing the poets to MM's attention.

Also, the latest details on KCPW's drive for independence or bust. Ed Sweeney of Wasatch Public Media will be here to talk about the need to raise another $238,000 by May 28th to keep the station on the air, and how the capital campaign differs from our annual spring pledge drive. Click here to fill out a donation form and send in your contribution to save KCPW. Better yet, drop it by the studios here at Library Square, 210 E. 400 S., and take a tour of the station. Operating hours, M-F, 8-6.

Join the conversation.  Call 355-TALK or email midday@kcpw.org during the show to participate.
