Musical Fruit, a New Radio Experience

DJ Goodwoman, a high priestess of the forest when she’s not on the waves.

Musical Fruit is an effervescent morning show affirming non-linear, zoot-suit states of mind. DJ Goodwoman plays jump blues, rhythm and soul, chanson, exotica, swing, indie folk (old and new), stirring tunes from whatever genre, and rock ‘n’ roll in all its iterations. Your intrepid host also promises tarot readings, saxophone spotlights, cuts from the weird and wild vault, oddball and/or worldly insights, and interactive toe-dips into the realm of pure imagination. This Thursday, December 1 from 9:30 to 11am, DJ Goodwoman takes off with the premier of Musical Fruit! Then tune in next week, December 8 when DJ Goodwoman gets dreamy with some Chanson and a chance to hear your fortune!

Our Working Waterfront ~ 12/09/22

(Airdate: December 9, 2022) KPTZ’s Chris Bricker joins co-hosts, Port of Port Townsend’s Director Eron Berg and Port Commissioner Pam Petranek, for our monthly update on news, issues, and people that surround our Maritime Community. After Eron’s Port update, Chris and Pam take a stroll down the Boathaven’s “A Dock” to visit 23-year-old Damian Detweiller, who moved here from Aspen, Colorado to attend the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building. He now works at the Shipwrights Co-Op, and tends to his boat Lacey, using the talents he’s brought with him, and the skills he’s learned from the Boat School and as an apprentice to the Co-Op’s fine craftsmen. We learn about Damien’s projects, plans, dreams, and his deep love of boats.
