Short KNCK Radio Interview via NCK Today

Concordia High School in Concordia, KS, one of my alma maters, has repeatedly invited me to connect with its students and share my love of art, nature, conservation, and higher education with them.

Radio host Loren Swenson reached out to me recently to once again highlight my journey and reflect on my time at CHS in another KNCK “Alumni Moment” segment which air during halftime at sports events; this one was played during a basketball game on Friday, February 7, 2025.

Below is a screenshot link to the recording on ncktoday.com on its general Talk Show page, but there’s no individual link so as more shows get added, it’ll be harder to find this specific show recording. I’ve therefore downloaded the audio file and then uploaded it at the bottom of this blog post so that this post will continue to make this recording easily accessible! As an FYI, the beginning of the recording suffers a little from compression/feedback issues, but it smooths out pretty quickly.

Concordia High School Pause PAWS Speaker Event and Radio Interview

Below is the YouTube video of my speech given on Friday, February 17, 2023 in the Pause PAWS notable alumni speaker series at Concordia High School (CHS), and here’s a link to our KNCK radio interview, embedded into the NCK Today article, “Professional Artist and Educator Shelby Prindaville Presents to Concordia High School Students.” My solo show in the Frank Carlson Design Room is in connection with this speaker event.

I wasn’t expecting to receive any gifts, so when the CHS Student Council President Jenna McFadden presented me with a framed honorary letter with an explanatory plaque at the end of my speech (see the photo in the NCK Today article image below), I was surprised and humbled! I had a great time connecting with the CHS student body, got to see some great student artwork (one such talented artist is Daegan DeGraff - check out her Facebook artist page!), and really appreciated getting to work with Brandt Hutchinson and his colleagues in this community service.

BROTA and Buenos Aires Radio Interview

I’m on Argentinian radio! I was invited, along with Patricia and the woman who agreed to cater our reception with her waffle company, to join Radio Conexión Abierta on their program La Vida Moderna de Analía. It was an hour-long show, and it was held entirely in Spanish. We talked about my upcoming exhibition reception, art, BROTA residency, Kansas, the Wizard of Oz, and waffles.
