(Airdate: May 26, 2026) Maryanne delves into history for this one-hour presentation of KPTZ: The First 15 Years. The station first went live in May 2011 and it’s been something of a bumpy road. Three key individuals offer their views on our launch and growth: LARRY STEIN, founding program director; ROBERT AMBROSE, who headed the station during the pandemic and initiated the move into new headquarters at Fort Worden, and TAYLOR CLARK, who took over and had the IT chops to conquer the technology for moving forward. This is the definitive history of the little station that could!
Join KPTZ and Finnriver Farm & Cidery in welcoming Reggae artist Adrian Xavier & Friends on Saturday, May 30 from 6 to 8pm. Adrian Xavier is a long-time member of Seattle’s thriving music scene, and reggae music has always been a major part of his journey. He has performed over 50 times with original members of RNR Hall Fame band Heart and a regular featured guest with Marmalade, Seattle’s longest running funk collective. Adrian Xavier has toured with and supported artists such as Prezident Brown, Rocker T., Ras Michael, Clinton Fearon, and Marty Dread. Make sure to tune in to KPTZ that Saturday morning during Inna Fine Style with DJ Mars for an exclusive interview with Adrian! Brought to you by KPTZ and Finnriver, there is no better way to begin summer than with reggae music on the farm!

(Airdate: May 25, 2026) KPTZ’S Genevieve Barlow was joined by Willem and Bergen of the Quilcene Lantern.
(Airdate: May 22, 2026) This week on County Connections, co-hosts Commissioner Heidi Eisenhour and Jim Burke welcome three guests from businesses at Chimacum Corner. Andrew Byers from Finnriver Farm & Cidery, Simon Walter-Hansen from Chimacum Café, and Nicole Witham from Chimacum Corner Farmstand. They relate what each business does and their current septic systems and “septage’ outflows, and the possibility of hooking up that area to the Port Hadlock sewer system which is just one and a half miles from Chimacum Corner. There could be potential environmental benefits as well as greater capacity for customers at all three businesses. This would have the added benefit of helping the businesses to grow and thrive.
KPTZ’s Taylor Clark and Port Townsend City Manager John Mauro got together with Director of Community Services Melody Sky Weaver to learn more about the summer reading program at the PT Library. Reading is good for you, and you can earn a t-shirt. Kids and grown-ups can both take part.
