Brewocracy Now ~ 3/30/23

Brewocracy Now on March 30 featured a grab bag of different topics.  Co-host Taylor Clark talked to John Mauro about recently passed changes supporting housing, and we looked towards what will be happening to support housing going forward.  John talked about The Community Read event last Tuesday and an upcoming meeting in Chimacum about the pool.  John asked that if people have time, could they please fill out the Pool Survey (linked here) which closes Friday, March 31 at 5pm.  We also heard some pending budget items at the state level that might possibly benefit Port Townsend, and then, sadly, we ran out of time.

Remembering Ray Schroff

One of KPTZ’s founding DJs changed cosmic addresses on March 29: Ray Schroff was among the station’s original crew of disc jockeys starting in May 2011, when KPTZ first began broadcasting ~ initially as the host of Dream City Jukebox and continuing until 2017. More recently he hosted the late night Ethereal Excursions program, exploring contemporary composers, jazz, and ambient music. Ray has always presented music devoted to more than just casual listening. Founding Program Director Larry Stein credits Ray’s important contribution: “Ray was in from the very beginning of KPTZ. His range of knowledge, and appreciation of great music helped set the tone of the station.” Ann Katzenbach, also one of the key KPTZ station founders, says of Ray, “We stand on his shoulders.” All of our condolences go to Ray’s wife Nancesca, and to his family, friends and listeners.

Booklovers’ Cafe – Anna Quinn, Angeline

(Airdate: March 28, 2023) Anna Quinn returns to Booklovers’ Cafe to introduce her new novel  Angeline. Erica Bauermeister says “Angeline is a call to open arms, a clear-eyed view of our often flawed humanity and how the power of compassion can change everything.” Cris and Anna talk about the setting in a liberal convent on an island in the Pacific Northwest and all about the humans inhabiting this place without revealing Angeline’s story. Anna unravels the mystery of her past in dream-like layers. The prose is poetic with messages for all readers. Anna is the founder of Writer’s Workshoppe in Port Townsend and the author of the bestseller, Night Child.
