Farewell to West Coast Live

It was a good run! And KPTZ is bittersweet to lose “West Coast Live,” the long-running radio program that retired from the airwaves, ending with its final broadcast of 2018 on December 29. The dynamic variety show began in 1993, and aired on KPTZ Saturday mornings for over 3 years, broadcasting on occasion from the Port Townsend Film Festival.

All of us at KPTZ send thanks and best wishes to West Coast Live host Sedge Thomson and crew. And we’re promised reprise podcasts from the show’s archives at wcl.org.

Stay tuned to KPTZ for a new program in the Saturday 11am – 12n time slot over the coming weeks, with thanks to host Charlie Bermant for stepping up to fill in until the new program is in place.

Compass for the Week of 12/24/2018

Canada-based Caravan Stage Company was created in 1970 by Paul Kirby and Adriana Kelder as a one-wagon puppet show traveling on Vancouver Island. Over the years they grew into a 25 person company of actors, musicians, artists and technicians, touring in 6 large wagons, each drawn by a team of perfectly matched Clydesdale horses. Twenty years and twenty-thousand horse-drawn miles later, Caravan Stage Company took to the sea on a replica of a Thames River Sailing Barge. Their adventures have taken them all over the world, and along the rivers, lakes, seacoast and waterways of North America. KPTZ caught up with the troupe when they visited Point Hudson Marina for a series of shows. In this second installment of his coverage of their visit, KPTZ reporter Chris Bricker goes shipboard to meet the cast and crew of Caravan Stage Company’s production, Nomadic Tempest.
