Positively Revolting on 02-03-12 Author Riane Eisler
Pleasure and joy are sacred states.
In a society in which pleasure is denied and commodified, taking pleasure seriously is a revolutionary act.
Join ani and Lyn for a conversation with Riane Eisler, author of the books, "The Chalice and the Blade", "Sacred Pleasure: Sex, Myth, and the Politics of the Body--New Paths to Power and Love", "The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics", "The Power of Partnership", and many more.
Riane Eisler is the President of the Center for Partnership Studies, and social scientist who is evolving a vision of society based on cooperative or partnership based principles.
As we create a new world together, what are it's guiding values? Tune in and hear how a society based in partnership and cooperation is likely to celebrate pleasure, art, and sexuality. Ms. Eisler's classic work in history illustrates that this has been true in the past, while the dominator model denies pleasure and emphasizes games of competition and war.

Positively Revolting 12-30-11 The good news of 2011, looking back with Sarah van Gelder
2011 was an eventful year-- a year of transitions and change felt around the world and in our lives. It seems that in most year end news round-ups, there's the dichotomy of presenting a world of doom and gloom, and light fluffy pieces that really don't mean anything.... oh, and the celebrity news.....
Today, we looked at things a little differently. Ani & Lyn speak with Sarah van Gelder, the Executive Editor of Yes! Magazine, about the good work that's been done to advance progressive social change, and to hear about things that are really happening to bring us closer to a sustainable world based in truth, beauty and egalitarianism.
Sarah van Gelder is one of the editors of the newly released book "This Changes Everything: Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement".

Positively Revolting 12-16-11 Solstice Show 2011
The Positively Revolting Solstice Show 2011
There is so much going on with Occupy; the Bill of Rights being shattered, tents covering freedom fighters, and yet nature and the goddess call us to look inside.
This is the darkness before the dawn. What do we want the dawn to bring in? This is a time of deep visioning. Dreaming big to help us bring a freshness to the world we are co-creating, not simply doing the same things with a slightly new look. This is a time to delve into the liberating powers of dreaming, of visioning, of connecting to one another and the collective unconscious.
What have you done to free your mind lately?

Positively Revolting on 12-02-11 Guest John de Graaf, Director of Take Back Your Time
What is more important than your life and happiness? What can you do to take back your time?
Ani and Lyn talk with author John de Graaf about the sad state of Americans over-working, even though many are under paid, or unemployed. As people find a void of interconnectedness and meaning in their lives, they seek to fill it with more and more things, growing busier and busier to keep up with an unsustainable cycle.
Workers in the US work longer hours than their European counterparts. People with no time often feel disengaged from civic life, and personal enjoyment. For example, the super busy rely on fast food over real food eaten with friends and family.
Please join our discussion with John de Graaf, as we explore how one can free themselves from the hectic hamster wheel consumerism and busyness.
John de Graaf is the Director of Take Back Your Time and outreach director of The Happiness Initiative. He is a documentary filmaker and the co-author of Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic and the newly-released, What's the Economy For, Anyway?: Why It's Time to Stop Chasing Growth and Start Pursuing Happiness

Positively Revolting on 11-18-11 Occupy Portland - an update on the actions of the last week, and plans for the future
Hosts Lyn
Moelich and Ani have a conversation with three people who have been active with Occupy Portland.
On Saturday, November 12th, thousands of people came out in support of the Occupy encampment. When it seemed that a peaceful resolution was had after a night of stand-offs with the Portland Police, most of the supporters left. Just a few hours later, the police moved in and "evicted" the camp. At least one protester, Justin Bridges, required hospitalization following the mistreatment he received at the hands of the PPB. Justin is a musician and American Sign Language interpreter, and as a result of the cops dragging him and kneeing him in the back, has (at least temporarily) lost the use of his right arm and leg.
There has been continued action in the days following the eviction. In the last two days, there were major actions-- a PSU student walk-out, and N17-- a day of action against the major banks.
There are many more things planned for the future, including a March for Universal Healthcare, and a neighborhood discussion coming to Col. Summer's Park on Saturday, at SE 20th and Belmont, and a march on Sunday that protests the eviction of the original encampment.
Where does the movement go from here? As part of the 99%, what do you want to see? Have you been involved? If not, why not? What would it take to get you involved?
Guests were Kari Koch of Portland Central America Solidarity Committee, Axcelle Bell, and Cameron Whitten, who is pictured above, being beaten by police during the N17 protests11-17-11.

this morning's program: host & speaker
I am a daily KBOO listener; however, while todays speaker while speaking from the heart regarding her dismay over the Afganistan theater of war, she makes vague statements, with great emotion, but few references to facts, which could easily be woven into her statements to make them more illuminating, it would give more power to her rally cries. Tt feels as though I am simply listening to hyperbole LIKE ON CREEPY FOX NEWS! The Hosts of the program, similarly, are never probing or asking for clarification of the important issue, an important question to probe is: "why ARE we there?". This program is dithering, and the speaker is bland, unconvincing of any knowledge base, boring, 10th rate. Additionally, this is typical of the "Positively Revolting" hour, I usually never tune in when I know these two hosts will be on, bcs. it is never a provoking program, it rarely reveals or provides any new information about anything. If this program has to continue to be on at all, consider putting it on late at night....it is pablum.
Good Sista' Bad Sista' on the other hand was a great relief for me on Friday morning's programing, those women are sharp, witty and smart.
Do not dumb us down with this progam "Positively Revolting", it is a zero.
Pay Equality
I recently heard the argument that the pay differential between men and women is actually fair. This idea is based on the situation of women living longer than men but work the same period of time. This argument claims that the total difference of pay between men and women equals the cost of additional medical care spent for women in their senior years.
For example, let's say a man and a woman work the same number of years (about 40), in the same job with the same responsibilities, and the man makes 10% more than the woman. Say that the job pays (in constant dollars) an average of $30,000 over the forty years. The man makes $1.2 million over this period and the woman makes $1.08 million.
The difference is $120,000. Now at age 60, a man will generally live to be 75 and a woman will live to be 85. Most medical expenses are incurred in the last ten years of live. These costs are paid mostly by public funds through MediCare. The pay_inequality_is_fair argument holds that this $120,000 pay differential is used by society to pay the additional medical expenses that women use and men don't.
I realize that this argument will float like a lead zeppelin on the Positively Revolting community. However, you may want to be aware of it so you don't get blindsided by it in a public debate on the issue.
Thank you,
Alan in Portland
Where did Ani go?
Where did Ani go? I miss her!
I'm here, honest
Wow... How about some positive feedback?
I must have picked a good week to start listening to KBOO. My unhealthy addiction to KPOJ has been shaken. What stirred me to radio hop was the recent clubbing and scrubbing of morning show co-host Heidi Tauber.
Thankfully (along with news I'm not hearing elsewhere) I struck gold with back to back to back mornings of call in shows which were right up my avenue. On Wednesday Barbara Bernstein and friends of the 40 Mile Loop took me on a bike ride down memory lane. The next day, Dave and Jo Ann took on the very difficult but extremely important topic of race and justice in America. I found the candor of the hosts and callers-in to be a much needed breath of fresh air.
Yesterday was quite synergenic. I didn't think anything Positively Revolting would be my pint of brew, but the community of thought that came together was positively revolutionary. I'm still not entirely successful in finding joy amidst the madness, but the range of emotions I was able to experience during the show were a welcome departure from depression. Together we just may succeed... or at least, survive.
KBOO, I think I love U. (And Jeff always has sumpin' to say to go along with that sexy voice! I'm glad he seems to hop around the dial too.)
Friday's Program Was Not Acceptable
HI,
I like to listen to KBOO in the morning when I drive to work. I usually learn something interesting and enjoy the thought provoking discussion. Last Friday (2/22/08) about 8AM their was a caller who make a very good point about the disparity of wealth being less meaningful then the disparity of consumption. I thought it was an excellent point he made, someone has to own the companies that employ people, and the companies have a great deal of value, but it's not liquid and it's not like the owner is spending it all the time. The radio show host really put the caller down, and I don't feel even tried to understand, let alone address his argument. Furthermore, the co-host said that the whole discussion was too "intellectual", like it's not okay to think on a talk radio show. I felt like the hosts just wanted to complain about people being rich, without addressing anything of substance. I expect this sort of opinion driven mush on AM talk radio, but I feel it is below the standards of KBOO. I"m really disappointed.

Appropriate title - Positively Revolting
One is wise to pick their battlefields, as well as their battles - this is mine. As a listener to this morning's program, I initially thought I had some valid opinions to voice with regard to the topics presented. Since the lines were busy, I was satisfied to just listen. The objects of my opinions changed radically as I did so - the topics of discussion soon took a back seat to the format of the discussions. Are calls only taken based upon the caller's willingness to agree with Ms. Silverwolf? Time after time, she disconnected callers based upon her unwillingness to allow their point of view to be heard.
Granted, not everyone is skilled at making a point; however, that is where the skilled[?] announcer should be trusted to guide the conversation, not terminate it. While Ms. Silverwolf may be a volunteer, bravely taking on the awesome responsibility of accepting live calls from the public on volatile subjects, she should remember that it IS community radio, not just a forum for those who agree with her.
Based upon what I heard this morning, I am seriously reconsidering my continued support of KBOO.
Most sincerely, and thank you for not taking my call
