About this listen

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.

    We see lots of articles, statistics and rants these days, about the homelessness problem. Being "home challenged," in Fort Collins isn't exactly a "walk in the park". It's a challenge. "Homeward Bound: Rita's Story" features not only current data with regard to the Fort Collins homeless population; but also (and more importantly) a personal conversation with Rita about her experience managing it.

Within a couple years the station evolved to become an exceptional resource for Colorado musicians. On the website (KRFCFM.ORG) the Community Hub features, among other things; award-winning podcasts for all interests, local resources for volunteering and a variety of events.
