About This Podcast
Communities that Work is a podcast from KRFC 88.9 FM Fort Collins devoted to issues, ideas, programs and people shaping life in Northern Colorado and beyond.
Debuting in 2004 under the name Community at Work, it was KRFC's longest-running on-0air public affairs show. As an on-air program, it earned 3 awards of Excellence from the Colorado Broadcasters Association. In 2024, the show transitioned from an on-air once a week to an on demand format at www.krfcfm.org.
In 2025 a new podcast was born... Communities that Work. The same quality programming is accessible as a podcast on any service or app where you listen to podcasts - as well as on www.krfcfm.org.
