Hoytus Interruptus
Tuesday, 8 AM
Wednesday, 2 PM
The Snowball, the Robin, and the Porcelain Horse
The Hoytus Interruptus Apology Tour continues with three stories from when Jeff was just twelve years old. He could have listened to the tiny voice in his head trying to steer him clear of doing something stupid. But for Jeff, twelve was the age when bad decisions that he’d later regret appeared to be somewhat baked in.

The Stamp Act Congress and American Organized Resistance, October 19. 1765
Episode 5 examines how The Stamp Act Congress of 1765 organized and affirmed what the colonists saw as their Declaration of Rights and Grievances against the actions of the British Parliament. The Stamp Act Congress becomes a model for the First Continental Congress of 1774, for the Articles of Confederation in 1777, and for the U.S. Constitution in 1789.

Embracing the Muse
Tuesday, 6-7 PM
How can art help us remember what must never be forgotten?
This May, a powerful new public sculpture titled Remember (Day of Exile) 1941 will be unveiled in Ober Park by Vashon artist Miya Sukune. In this episode, we step into Miya’s deeply thoughtful body of work, which spans painting exhibitions, public art, residencies, and publications.
Her work is currently featured at MOHAI—the Museum of History & Industry—as part of the moving collection of Boys’ and Girls’ Day dolls left behind by Japanese families during incarceration.

Paradise Valley
Wednesday, 3-4 PM
Heavy, Melodic Music
The Paradise Valley Music Hour is a weekly hour of music from the Pacific Northwest. I spend a lot of time listening to bands from around the region, and each week the show is an hour of PNW music that I'm digging right now. You’ll hear a wide range of styles, including indie rock, folk, blues, jazz, electronic, and hip-hop and more.
This week the show is leaning towards heavy, melodic music from bands like Boise's Blood Lemon, Bellingham's The Wyrds, Seattle's Zookraught, Eugene's ExWife and more great PNW bands.

Boogie Back to Texas
Wednesday, 6-7 PM
Catalog Backfill
Occasionally Boogie Back host Geoff Fletcher hears a song, has to get the album, hears a song, has to get the album, hears…. He is in the midst of one of those times, but until those albums arrive (old school CDs), he harkens back to another time when he was struck with a similar virus. Tune in to hear the bounty of that buy with some blues from the Fabulous T-birds and a great trio of Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter and James Cotton. We have love and lust from Rosie Flores, Beth Wood, Delbert McClinton and Norah Jones and another story from James McMurtry. And more. Tune in for some fine listening.

Saturday, 9-11 PM
The Monsters of Prog Volume IV
The Monsters of Prog awaken from their long slumber. After a period of dormancy, this beloved theme claws its way back out of the cosmic cave for The Monsters of Prog, Vol. IV—a full-on revival packed with bigger riffs, longer songs, and gloriously unhinged ambition. Expect epic journeys from Yes, space-rock propulsion courtesy of Hawkwind, mind-melting grooves from Can, razor-sharp intensity via King Crimson, and many more progressive beasts lurking in the shadows. This is prog at its most towering, trippy, and unapologetically strange—revived, reanimated, and roaring back to life!

Music and the Movies
Sunday, 7-8 PM
Oscar-nominated Best Scores of 2025
The Oscar ceremony on March 15, 2026 will distribute gold to one of the five nominated Best Original Scores for movies released in 2025. Needless to say, we're on the case, sampling music from these five titles: One Battle After Another, Sinners, Hamnet, Bugonia, and Frankenstein—a range from traditional movie-music styles to very experimental weirdness. Bonus track: an unexpected classic song from an inimitable vocalist, used at a key moment in one of the nominated pictures. And the winner is….

Sunday Silence
Sunday, 11 – midnight
Deliverance
Bass is music’s cardiovascular system. Bass and rhythm articulate the passion of hips and weight and vibration—the command of blood upon life; they are what make bodies move in time; they say, “Feel this now—stay in it!” Melody, however, does not direct the body; it entices it. Melody draws a lithe path over and through the thrum of the beat—sometimes supporting it; at other times, clarifying, interrupting, or reshaping it. It is the roundness of contour, the suppleness of a caress; it is a halo that illuminates the body with the glow of attention.
It’s not necessarily that a melody diverts the body from presence, but that it imbues presence with the force of meaning. This episode is an exploration of this tension, and its release, with music from Oro Azul, Entrañas, and Escaflowne.
