Taylor Clark and John Mauro caught up on what Taylor’s got going on (hint: he’s stepped up to be the interim General Manager for KPTZ as we search for a new GM). They talked about how important it is in a place like Port Townsend to step up and get involved. There was a good question about the inclusion of housing in the latest revision of the golf course proposals. Also, upcoming at Monday’s city council meeting will be a report from the Financial Sustainability Task Force that should be worth checking out. John made the point that we need to make clear choices about what we do, and also what we choose not to do.
(Airdate: June 28, 2023) Join Nan Evans as she talks with scientists and authors, David Montgomery and Anne Biklé, about their recent book What Your Food Ate. This book deepens and broadens that old adage that “we are what we eat” by exploring how the health of soil ecosystems form the roots of a complex dynamic that determines the health of crops, livestock, and ultimately human communities.
(Airdate: June 27, 2023) Maryanne interviews George Marie and Michael D’Alessandro, the new owners of the Rose Theatre in Port Townsend. This local couple stepped up to run the iconic theatre after founder Rocky Friedman decided that – after 30 years – it was time to retire. They are young and full of energy and vision. They share much of Rocky’s devotion to the cinematic format. They know all theatres face multiple challenges after years of pandemic, but they are determined the Rose will serve future generations of locals. As parents of young children, they also want a family-friendly movie house. They’re certainly not forgetting about so-called “art” movies, but they also want young customers to enjoy their popcorn at fun movies.
