(Airdate: April 22, 2025) We’re in the town of Jiayuguan., and we’re still fighting a bronchial infection we get every time we travel to China. The local hospitals turned out to be a farce, if not a nightmare, so we threw ourselves at the mercy of the local pharmacy. Jiayuguan began its place in Chinese history as early as the Han Dynasty as a.checkpoint along the Gansu Corridor.
(Airdate: April 21, 2025) On today’s Attention Please! host Charlie Bermant talks to Port Townsend City Council member Libby Wennstrom, Deputy Mayor Amy Howard, and former Mayor and City Council member Michelle Sandoval. As filing week is approaching, we discussed why people should run for city council and what to expect if/when you are elected. They tell us the job isn’t easy, but has tremendous rewards.
(Airdate: April 18, 2025) This week on County Connections, co-hosts Jim Burke and Commissioner Greg Brotherton welcome Matt Stewart, Director of JeffCom 911, and Heather, a 911 dispatcher. It is Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. We also talked about the basics of 911 call protocols and dispatch, with a detour into what happens when your cellphone or connected watch calls 911 when you fall down or even when you don’t. (HINT: if it is not an emergency, stay on the line and make sure you tell the 911 operator, okay?) We played out to Tombstone Blues by Bob Dylan.
KPTZ’s Taylor Clark and co-host Port Townsend City Manager John Mauro welcomed PT Mayor David Faber for his quarterly visit on BrewNow.

(Airdate: April 16, 2025) Whales of Alaska have been studied by NOAA scientists for many years. For a third of a
century, Dave Rugh flew in small aircraft, stood on sea cliffs, rode various ships, and spent a lot of time on sea ice documenting the abundance of whales around Alaska. This included the enigmatic bowhead whale, belugas (which are white whales) in Cook Inlet near Anchorage, and gray whales which migrate from the Arctic to Mexico’s warm lagoons.
