A Vashon Minute
Monday, Noon
Saturday at the 4-way
You see them every Saturday at the 4-way stop in Vashon Town, faithfully holding signs for peace in Gaza from noon to 1:30. They are Vashon for Palestine, and their work goes beyond reminding us all what's happening in the Middle East. Founder and inspiration for the protests, John Dancey and activist Su Kraus enlighten host Susan McCabe about what's going on in Gaza, how it started, maybe where it's going. Plus, the group is hosting a series of films in cooperation with Vashon Film Institute about Gaza, Israel and the people's dreams for their lives there. Tune in Monday at noon and Wednesday at 5 on KVSH 101.9FM, or at your convenience on the VoV App and at voiceofvashon.org

Whale of a Tale
Two decades ago on this very podcast, Jeff told the story of an orphaned baby orca named Springer that got separated from its family, forcing volunteers to attempt a daring rescue, rehabilitation and reunification with the whale’s family. Such a thing had never been pulled off before and while hopes were high, orcas in the Pacific Northwest were already stressed and swimming against a variety of man-made currents. Well, twenty years have now passed and Jeff has an inspiring update regarding Springer's fate!

The Paradise Valley Music Hour is a weekly hour of music from Pacific Northwest artists. 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, hip-hop and more.
This week I'm playing Seattle's Weep Wave, Tacoma's Stephanie Ann Johnson, Portland's Bodhi Mojo plus a bunch more great PNW artists. Tune in, it's gonna be fun!

Boogie Back to Texas
Wednesday, 6-7 PM
War
War is on our minds for obvious reasons, so Boogie Back host Geoff Fletcher dove into his archives and found a show about war from 2017 that reflected upon Ken Burns’ series on the Vietnam war. It seems these songs, sadly, still apply. Tune in for songs about individual soldiers (The Chicks, Patty Griffin, Kristy Lee Cook, Todd Snider, Steve Earle), no war scenarios (Phil Ochs, The Monkees, Merle Haggard), individual battles (Tanya Tucker and Johnny Horton), protest (Sheryl Crow, CSNY, and Buffalo Springfield), and a story about Miami University two weeks before Kent State. Get your marching shoes on again.

After the Hills Divide
What turns a land into a landscape — for who — from who — how come? As artist Rodney McMillian has said: “There are always addendums, footnotes, asterisks, italics. That's what the landscape is.” This episode is a coming-to-terms with the feeling that there is less and less distinction between spectacle and non-event in our contradictory age — and as a consequence, any clear distinction between the thresholds of dance-oriented and ambient electronic music. What sonic landscapes are even possible (or improbable) where the eventful and the ordinary have lost any traction on the real? In this episode, through the music of Crespi Drum Syndicate, Verraco, and Eisebelle, we find that the dancefloor always unfolds upon a landscape, its celebrated peaks flattened into plateaus of continuous intensity, while ambient music absorbs the charge of catastrophe without ever announcing it. So, join the party — trip on its fissures — crash on its contradictions — and we will see where we are in the end.
