The show will showcase some of the lesser-known aspects of the museums.

BY CALEB MCCULLOUGH [email protected]

The University of Iowa Pen- tacrest Museums and Iowa City’s newest independent ra- dio station will team up to be- gin a monthly radio show that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the museums. The “BIG Little Museum Show,” as the show is titled, will be aired monthly on KICI FM 105.3. The independent ra- dio station began last summer and broadcasts in a 5-mile ra- dius, featuring a range of local programming and indepen- dent music. The Pentacrest Museums comprise the Natural Histo- ry Museum in Macbride and the Old Capitol Museum. The museums host a range of ro- tating exhibits on science, art, and history. Pentacrest Museums com- munications director Jessica Smith and interim Pentacrest Museums director Liz Crooks had the idea for the show after seeing a news story about KICI. “It was appealing to me be- cause it’s about as local as you can get,” Crooks said. “They have a 5-mile broadcast radi- us, and we’re really commit- ted to our local community.

HAWKEYE UPDATES Hawkeye softball leaning on Doocy, Mayhew heading into weekend Iowa softball is on a powerful streak heading into this weekend’s slate of games in the Saluki Weekend at Big Tens Invitational in Carbondale, Illinois. The Hawkeyes have won nine of their last 11 games so far, largely because hitter DoniRae Mayhew and pitcher Allison Doocy have been nothing short of dominant. They will try to put in some of Doocy the same work this weekend with matchups against Illinois- Chicago and Wisconsin-Green Bay today, Butler on Saturday, and Wisconsin-Green Bay and Miami (Ohio) on March 10. Mayhew and Doocy represent the changing atmosphere in the program; they have both been steady and effective in their own ways for first-year head coach Renee Gillispie.
