Radio Connects Us All

Homepage

(Airdate: April 2, 2026) In our April episode, Dianna and Mary Beth explore the adventure of growing perennial vegetables, berries, and herbs. They cover how these crops can help suppress weeds, form ground covers, attract pollinators, and provide beauty in the garden — as well as produce long-term nutritious harvests. April is also Native Plant Appreciation Month. Julia and Barbara raise awareness about the connection between native plants and native pollinators in the home garden, and discuss ways to offer nectar and pollen to beneficial wildlife. The show airs Thursday from 6-6:30 pm.

In the winter why are the really low tides at night and during the daytime in summer? Why can we see different animals at different tide levels? What might we see during a winter nighttime low tide that we wouldn’t see during a summer low tide? Would an ultraviolet or black light be a cool thing to have? Get excited about tide pooling!

Introducing New Board Member Dylan Quarles

Dylan with Friend

Dylan Quarles is old school Port Townsend. After sailing into town on the family Tumlaren in the early 1990s, Dylan’s folks dropped anchor and decided to stick around for a while. A proud graduate of Port Townsend High School, Class of 2004, Dylan went on to study film at the Evergreen State College before traveling the world, teaching overseas, and eventually honing his voice as a bestselling, award-winning writer. Dylan and his wife returned to town in 2017 to start a family of their own, and now have a young wild-boy, an adorably scruffy dog, and an appropriately standoffish cat. Author of the popular Secret History of Port Townsend series, Dylan works as a screenwriter and local civic voice, serving on the Planning Commission, where he focuses on housing affordability policy with the same stubborn optimism he brings to most things. Dylan came to KPTZ with the strong belief that community radio is one of the most positive ways a town can talk to itself, and he wants to help make sure that dialogue continues well into the future.
