KPTZ 91.9 FM Radio Port Townsend

Community Tides ~ 10/01/23

Welcome to another edition of Community Tides. On alternate weeks, Sundays at Noon and Tuesdays at 5:30, KPTZ’S Chris Bricker joins Co-Host Siobhan Canty, President and CEO of Jefferson Community Foundation, to explore our vibrant community of creative and innovative citizens who continue to do good work. And speaking of “creative and innovative,” we have something special for you today. The Flying Karamazov Brothers, the New Old Time Chautauqua, and the original Chautauqua movement all have history here. What is a “Chautauqua” you might ask? Singer/songwriter Jim Page interviewed Karamazovs and New Old Time Chautauqua co-founder Paul Magid not long ago, and we thought it would be fun bring that interview to you today, thanks to Jim and his radio show on KBCS in Bellevue.
