KPTZ 91.9 FM Radio Port Townsend

(Airdate: April 2, 2026) In our April episode, Dianna and Mary Beth explore the adventure of growing perennial vegetables, berries, and herbs. They cover how these crops can help suppress weeds, form ground covers, attract pollinators, and provide beauty in the garden — as well as produce long-term nutritious harvests. April is also Native Plant Appreciation Month. Julia and Barbara raise awareness about the connection between native plants and native pollinators in the home garden, and discuss ways to offer nectar and pollen to beneficial wildlife. The show airs Thursday from 6-6:30 pm.

Northwest Passages

On Wednesdays at 5:20 pm, Northwest Passages features books and poetry by Pacific NW authors, or stories about our lands, ranging from poetry by local poet laureates; classics like The Egg & I or The Canoe and Paddle, and contemporary works from local and other PNW authors. This show comes to KPTZ from KSQM. If you have suggestions on pieces to be included in upcoming episodes, contact producer and host Douglas Furr at [email protected]

Radio Cascadia

On Wednesdays from 8-9pm a new live show, Radio Cascadia, will feature alternative, folk, and singer-songwriter artists from the Olympic Peninsula, Washington State, Oregon and British Columbia – the area we romantically call Cascadia. Radio Cascadia celebrates these local artists with their passionate stories, told from the amazing environment we in the Pacific NW are blessed to experience every day. DJ Douglas Furr loves the process of discovering, perhaps, unheralded talent and bringing them to others who enjoy the vibe of our artist-neighbors.
