Heidi Skrzypek

Heidi Skrzypek celebrates her ninth year producing for Voice of Vashon and airing 300 live dancehall radio shows on her two-hour Borderlines segment, each Thursday from 1-3 p.m.!
A part of the station since 2017, Heidi brings an unusual selection of dancehall, rocksteady, EDM-Ragga and rump-shakers. “My greatest reward is seeing families pass by the window, spontaneously busting into sidewalk dancing, and sharing this often-overlooked genre,” she said.

Vashon 250
Tuesday, 1-1:30 PM
Natham Hale One Life – September 22, 1776
Nancy Bristow will discuss Nathan Hale hanging as a spy by the British. His supposed last words were "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." While there are questions about the accuracy of these words, Hale became a symbol of American patriotism in the early 19th Century along with the myth-making of Paul Rever’s Ride and the Boston Tea Party. Hale’s symbolism as an American patriot raises the question of what it means to be a patriot, that has been central to American political struggles. On Vashon Island, a similar question asks, “what does it mean to be an islander?”

Boogie Back to Texas
Wednesday, 6-7 PM
Stories
All songs tell a story of some kind – maybe of one moment or one emotion, but some have complete plots. Those are the focus of a reprise from Boogie Back host Geoff Fletcher. Tune in for some stories of love, crime, revenge and a weird one or two. James McMurtry and Guy Clark sing classic West Texas stories, and the Chicks and Stephanie Urbana Jones take revenge. Love and crime together are prominent as Willie and Ray Charlies team up and Joe Ely, Steve Miller, Robert Earl Keen and Christopher Cross all spin their own yarns of love and crime. Nanci Griffith and a host of others sing a classic song about THE storm in Galveston and T-Bone Burnett’s song has both a fun story and a moral.
