Richard Louv first developed the concept of a nature-deficit disorder in his 2005 book Last Child in the Woods.

KPTZ is thrilled to join the Quilcene Lantern in welcoming the Sons of Rainier, along with local favorites Uncle Daddy and the Playful Pets, on Thursday, February 26 at 6pm at the Quilcene Lantern. The Sons of Rainier hail from the great PNW, and create easy-going alt-folk for hard times. Their music has found its way into the permanent library of hobos, widows, fry cooks, and fancy pants alike. This show will feature a honkytonk dance and local band Uncle Daddy and the Playful Pets. Brought to you by KPTZ and the Quilcene Lantern, don’t forget your cowboy boots!
(Airdate: February 24, 2026) We’re in Xinjiang Province, 50 kilometers east of Turfaan, in a gorge in the Flaming Mountains in a place called Bezeklik. Bezeklik is a Uyghur word for what we call “art gallery.” It was in fact a repository of Buddhist art, and until 1905 it had pretty much been forgotten. The man who rediscovered its treasure was the German archeologist Albert von Le Coq.
