The foggiest notion

A bit of Seattle rolled in this week — overcast skies, street-slicking drizzle and, as you can see, the kind of landmark-obscuring fog Las Vegans typically see only in Stephen King movies. If this keeps up, we're buying flannel and starting a grunge band. — Scott Dickensheets

Desert Companion welcomed Heidi Kyser as staff writer in January 2014. In 2018, she was promoted to senior writer and producer, working for both DC and KNPR's State of Nevada. She produced KNPR’s first podcast, the Edward R. Murrow Regional Award-winning Native Nevada, in 2020. The following year, she returned her focus full-time to Desert Companion, becoming Deputy Editor, which meant she was next in line to take over when longtime editor Andrew Kiraly left in July 2022. In 2024, Interim CEO Favian Perez promoted Heidi to managing editor, charged with integrating the Desert Companion and State of Nevada newsroom operations.
