KPTZ Goes to the Opera / Colin Foden
Hello, my name is Colin Foden. I’d like to invite you to listen to some opera. Each month KPTZ Goes to the Opera to preview the upcoming live from the New York City Metropolitan Opera performances at the Rose, the Seattle Opera, or simply to enjoy the best that Opera has to offer. As I did when I first heard Saturday afternoon Met broadcasts, I’m sure your eclectic tastes will find something dazzling about the drama and the music. The show airs every Sunday from 9-10am. I have a seat reserved for you and I look forward to your company. Email Colin.

Compass for the Week of January 29, 2018
Each year in early February hundreds of school kids and their adult mentors descend upon a former farm in the Tarboo Valley armed with digging implements and rubber boots to take part in one of the most ambitious stream restoration and reforestation projects in the state. KPTZ Compass covered the Tarboo Plant-a-thon back in 2015, and because this year’s plant-a-thon is scheduled for this Saturday, the 3rd of February, we thought this would be a good time to reprise that show.
