Brown Briefly
Tuesday, 11-Noon
WOW – what an election!
Imagine the possibilities now that the state of Washington may acquire a legislative supermajority, both chambers of Congress will change hands and five states have gained a Democratic Trifecta (where the Governor and both state legislative chambers are led by Democrats).
This week the Briefly’s, Truman, Bruce, Kevin, and Craig, joined again by Nancy Bristow, gather to discuss the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Tuesday, 1-1:30
Shay’s Rebellion with Nancy Bristow and Doug Sackman
Shay’s Rebellion was a tax revolt in Western Massachusetts. The federal government under the Articles of Confederation could not finance troops to put down the rebellion and the Rebellion became part of the argument for a stronger federal government under the new U.S. Constitution. There have been numerous tax revolts in the past 250 years of American history and similar revolts continue today.
Vashon has had a number of “revolts” in its history with “The Great Library War” of 2004- 2009, The “Glacier Battle” of 1999-2011, the demise of the Community Council in 2011, and a one hundred years of attempts to become independent of King County from the 1890s to the 1990s.

Lisa Hasselman: A Midlife Leap into Organic Farming

Boogie Back to Texas
Wednesday, 6-7 PM
Lucky and Chances
Inspired by Pete Droge and Elaine Summers’ song, Two of the Lucky Ones, Boogie Back host Geoff Fletcher dipped into the archives to grab a Lucky show. Tune in for some self-reflection from an extremely generically diverse show of Texas musicians.
Michael Martin Murphy and Slaid Cleaves embody self-reflection, The Lucky Strikes and Kat Edmondson get jazzy, and we hear two very different Chances Are, one from
Johnny Mathis and one from Lee Ann Womack.
Classic Texans The Flatlanders, Jerry Jeff, Tanya Tucker and Rodney Crowell have their own takes, and great guitarists Sue
Foley and Jimmie Vaughan bring the show full circle with The Lucky Ones.
Take a chance.

Island Eclectic
Thursday, 4–6pm
Pete Droge Takes the Hot Seat!
Batten down the hatches, Vashon. This Thursday Island Eclectic becomes a two-hour musical showdown when Pete Droge, singer-songwriter, island neighbor and old partner in crime, comes into the studio with a stack of records and plenty of opinions.
One of us plays a track, the other answers it, and we keep going wherever the music takes us. Along the way we’ll dig into the songs that rearranged our brains: the first records we wore out, the concerts that changed everything, and the guilty pleasures we’ll finally own up to on live radio.
Expect stories, friendly heckling, surprise confessions and at least one “you can’t be serious” from across the console. Two friends, two hours, zero setlist. What could possibly go wrong?
