Larson Live Interview with Del Willett Radio Ad KPRZ San Diego Natural History Museum
on October 6th, 2025 | History
A segment from Mark Larson’s “Larson Live” on KCBQ 1170 AM (with cross-mentions of KPRZ 1210 AM) featuring Del Willett, Director of Marketing, discussing the Museum’s major building expansion (a new 90,000 sq. ft. wing operating while the 1935, 60,000 sq. ft. wing is renovated) and the Museum’s 300-seat giant-screen theater. Willett highlights the Museum-produced film “Ocean Oasis” (with Summerhays Films and Pronatura) showcasing the Baja California and Sea of Cortez ecosystems, and the traveling exhibit “Epidemic” (history of disease), on view through August 12. He also notes the Natural Treasures permanent exhibit—popular legacy objects plus newly collected local fossils—and invites the public to weigh in on upcoming exhibits via an on-site display. The host frames the Museum as a top family/visitor itinerary in Balboa Park and points listeners to links via kcbq.com.
Brief show context includes earlier discussion with SDG&E about a color-coded online rolling-blackout rotation tool, weather/traffic updates, and community notices; the Museum portion centers on current programs, new facilities, and audience participation.
