A Salt Lake native, Benjamin Bombard served numerous internships in the KUER newsroom before becoming a producer of RadioWest. He aspired to the position for years, and in his sometimes wayward pursuit of it he has worked as a print and radio journalist in Utah, Wyoming, and California, a horse wrangler, golf course “bag rat,” dishwasher, janitor, bookseller, children’s museum guide, barista, linecook, and a male nanny or “manny.” He has dished up gelato to Mafiosos in Rhode Island, and worked as a volunteer for a health NGO in Mali, West Africa, where he politely declined an offer to act as a blood-diamond mule. He values holistic personal fitness and good, honest food. Most of his free time is spent writing, reading, preparing for hunting season, hunting when it's hunting season, and otherwise pursuing an overabundance of diverse interests and passions.

Timothy Slover attended the University of Utah where he majored in English. One time he scored a cool RadioWest internship and after it was over he stuck around the station until some kind people found something else for him to do. He bounced around as a weekend host, did another internship in the newsroom, glued a few wires together, and did a stint as KUER's mid-day host. Nowadays he still does a bit of everything, as a producer.
