MONSOON DOWN THE RADIO WITH TIM "TATER" STALEY
Friday 5-7pm Sunday 1-3pm rebroadcast
Monsoon Down the Radio: Aesthetic: global fry and poetry, mostly. Each week I try my best to redefine the purpose, scope and inanity of a DJ.

His newest poetry chapbook, The Most Honest Syllable Is Shhh, is available from Night Ballet Press.
His debut poetry collection, Lost On My Own Street, is available where books are sold from Pski’s Porch Publishing.
He founded Grandma Moses Press in 1992, and currently serves as publisher and primary care giver.
His hip hop persona is Mc Flashcard. His DJ persona is Tater, and he produces 3 hours of weird, poetry-inflected radio content a week for KTAL LP 101.5 Las Cruces.
He went to poetry school at the University of Alabama and New Mexico State University.
His awards include The 2004 Peter Harris-Kunz Endowed Award in Poetry, The 2012 Luminaire Award for Best in Poetry, and the 2016 Dona Ana Arts Council’s Arts in Education Award.
