The Sons and Daughters of Liberty and Organized Resistance - November 1765
Episode 6 investigates the role of the Sons and Daughters of Liberty in organizing resistance to the British efforts to control the colonies and to impose imperial control over the colonies.
Throughout American history groups have formed to oppose what they often see as government overreach or lack of government action to enforce existing or desired laws. The NAACP, the ACLU, and the Civil Rights Movement are all good examples of Americans organizing protests.

Stirring the Pot
Tuesday, 3 PM
Spring Holiday Food Traditions
Spring is springing! And along with that come some unique holiday food
traditions. March is the time for Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr (Muslim),
Palm Sunday (Christian), Navaratri (Hindu), and Nowruz (Iranian New
Year). With each of these celebratory holidays come delicious dishes
and cultural practices. In this episode of Stirring the Pot, co-hosts
Linda Nygaard and Selin Demir will examine and explore the holidays
that may not be familiar to all of us. It's a learning curve for most
people and the thing that binds them all together is the delicious
food prepared for each specific holiday. Featuring recipes and
techniques, along with some personal stories, Linda and Selin invite
you to their table for a conversation, a learning experience for all
of us, and some ideas for springtime food you may not have previously
considered. Please pull up a chair and tune in

Paradise Valley
Wednesday, 3-4 PM
PNW Bands
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.

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.
