Our Working Waterfront ~ 10/10/23
Each month on alternate weeks, Tuesdays at 5:30 and Sundays at Noon, KPTZ’s Chris Bricker and his co-hosts, Port Director Eron Berg and Commissioner Pam Petranek bring you updates and stories from Port Townsend’s working waterfront. A new tradition was born this year, right here in our Boatyard! A special celebration took place under the stars and in the glow of the full moon above the giant Marine Travelift. It was organized by the Port of Port Townsend and its sponsors to welcome our Fishing Fleet home. There were crew members, skippers, shipwrights and apprentices who keep these boats alive. There were brokers, townies, families, and children of all ages. They all gathered in a corner of the Yard for a truly local and authentic gathering. Roving the festivities with a field mic was never more fun!

Booklovers’ Cafe – Jane Haigh, Waiting for the Storm
(Airdate: October 10, 2023) Booklovers’ is pleased to talk to author Jane Haigh about her latest Green New Deal novel, Waiting for the Storm. This book uniquely imagines an area in New Hampshire 40 years from now that has made the infrastructure changes necessary to survive a climate-change-driven hurricane. What is particularly fascinating about this story is the way a small group of ordinary people get together to work in local politics and businesses and make positive changes in transportation, housing, and energy – a lesson that our area is also working towards. None of these solutions is science fiction.
