RadioWest is an hour-long live radio show and podcast, hosted by Doug Fabrizio and produced at NPR member station KUER. The original brainchild of KUER station manager John Greene, the show was launched in 2001 and was centered around the U.S. West. Over the years it evolved to cover a wide range of topics including politics, faith, war, history, art, and sex.

RadioWest has received awards from the Utah Headliners Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Utah Broadcaster's Association.
