Morton was the longtime co-host of The Poetry Show on KUSP — the longest running poetry show in the United States on public radio. Content ranged from insights on thematic works to interviews and readings with nationally recognized poets.

 

Morton's final live broadcast was on May 17, 2009, with a program on Theodore Roethke.
