Marlene Ryan

Marlene Ryan has been a volunteer extraordinaire at KMUW since the early 1990s. On any given day, she will greet you with a warm smile, whether it’s on the phone or as you step into the station.

A Wichita native, Marlene has extensive experience in the medical and spa industries in customer service before joining the KMUW family.

Outside of work, you may find her volunteering at the Historic Orpheum, where she was honored as Volunteer of the Year. She has an affinity for downtown Wichita, which began when her father had a local business. You might also find her hiking in Kansas and beyond.

Marlene enjoys listening to Wait, Wait... Don’t Tell Me! and Hidden Brain but is especially proud of KMUW’s locally produced programs, with Carla Eckels’ Soulsations leading the pack, followed by Fletcher Powell’s You’re Saying It Wrong podcast.
