(Airdate: April 18, 2022) This edition of Attention Please! is a two-part show on two quite different topics. The first segment features the AAUW’s Home and Kitchen Tour with Karena Wells and Jean Stasney of the American Association of University Women. In the second segment, PT Potential’s Roarke Jennings and Ronnie Crusta describe their vision for reducing the use of plastics in our area while at the same time recycling what we use. Hosted and produced by Phil Andrus.
On Monday, April 18 from 8 to 9pm on KPTZ, tune in for a special presentation from Bellingham musician and now podcast host Robert Sarazin Blake. Check out From the Kitchen Table, where Robert invites musical guests from near and far to join a live stream and share their music from their respective kitchen tables. In this episode, which was specially prepared for KPTZ, Kristin Andreassen joined The Kitchen Table from Nashville, Tennessee one Sunday in January, playing songs from her 2021 album, The Bright Siders. The Kitchen Table comes to KPTZ from producer Jeremy Meehan, and host Robert Sarazin Blake. Classic Jazz will return next week at its usual time.
On alternate Fridays during the noon hour, KPTZ’s Chris Bricker and co-host Siobhan Canty, President and CEO of Jefferson Community Foundation, meet to discuss new developments, new paradigms, and the new normal, as we roll into the months ahead. The Chimakum People, who lived in the Chimacum Creek watershed, had been widely considered extinct and written out of history. In fact, however, there are many Chimakum descendants.
We speak with one of those descendants, Naiomi Kreinke, who has a very special dream that is slowly becoming a reality – a community gathering place in the form of a traditional Longhouse. We also speak with two allies with the Chimakum – photographer, designer, and writer Kerry Tremain and photographer Brian Goodman, who were prime movers in creating a book and exhibit of portraits of contemporary Chimakum families and elders. Opportunities to view the exhibit are at Chimacum High School on April 23 and May 28 from Noon to 2pm.
91.9FM Radio Port Townsend co-presents DJ David Bonobo Live at Finn River Farm and Cidery, in Chimacum on Friday April 15 from 5 to 7pm. This all-ages event features dance music and rhythms connected to the African Diaspora – from Afro-Beat to Brazilian Funk, Electro-Cumbia and more.
DJ David Bonobo co-hosts Radio Kilombo, with DJ Brazil Nut. The show airs on Thursday nights from 10-11pm on KPTZ and curates the Earth’s finest collection of seductive African and Afro-Latin grooves.

Puget Soundkeeper was the first grassroots organization to focus exclusively on protecting the marine environment of Puget Sound when it was founded in 1984. Other organizations have since joined the effort to protect and conserve the water quality of Puget Sound and the Salish Sea region, but Puget Soundkeeper continues to be a leader in this area. Host MaryAnn Wagner talks with Puget SoundKeeper staff Blair Englebrecht and Gillian Flippo on how they are working to keep the Sound clean and safe.
