At the Moment

Environmental issues, human rights, international issues. At the Moment has it all.
Sharon Benzoni graduated December 2007 as an environmental science major. She co-hosted a science show, and then was offered her own at KRUI. And she dived right in.
“My idea for At the Moment came about when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to focus on,” Benzoni said, adding she wanted to get into a little bit of everything going on “at the moment.”
Hence came the name.
KRUI has aired three episodes of Benzoni’s At the Moment thus far, starting with an interview June 14 with Sunday Goshit, a native of Nigeria, about Nigerian e-mail scammers. The following week she had an interview with Fatemah Keshavarz, an Iranian writer, about the recent tumultuous election in Iran. And most recently had an interview with an expert of climate change.
Upcoming interviews include one with a renewable energy officer from Samoa, whose name she wished to withhold for now, an interview with Professor Burns Weston, the founder of the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights, and she is in the planning process of a discussion about the Iraq education initiative.
“I want to let Iowa City and the university community know about some amazing work going on here,” Benzoni said.
She added, “I love the radio as a medium. Weaving human stories and intellectual ideas together with the exploration of interesting concepts” is really engaging.
