Organization Description

Pickle Hill Public Broadcasting/KDLL, based in the Kenai Peninsula, produces and airs a variety of local news, entertainment and music programming, as well as airing quality programming from National Public Radio, American Public Media, Public Radio International and BBC Word Service.

Jenny Neyman joined Pickle Hill Public Broadcasting in 2019, shortly before state funding for the station was cut. She joined the station as a one-woman operation, responsible for broadcasting, reporting, and management. Under her leadership, local support for the station has increased, funding has stabilized, and full-time staff has grown. With the station thriving, Jenny hopes to use her sabbatical to disconnect and hike the rugged Continental Divide Trail, which follows the crest of the Rocky Mountains from New Mexico to Canada.
