Ani hosts a special discussion on love.  What can love teach us as we engage in radical social change? Che Guevara said, "A true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love."  What did he mean by that?  How can love inspire and energize us in our work as revolutionaries and social change workers.  Love is the strongest force in the universe, inspiring beauty, tenderness, creativity, and life itself.  How can we let love guide us in our work to re-make the world that upholds values of joy, freedom, egalitarianism, and peace?  What can love teach us?

Short Description: 
Opening KBOO's morning of programs dedicated to exploring sustainable cities, Ani hosts a discussion

Some say the development of agriculture allowed for the first population dense areas, making up the first cities.  As cities grow, the model holds that the population density necessitates that food be imported to feed the masses.  The larger the cities, the more resources are imported to feed the population centers.

The US is a major food importer.  Even in a crop rich area like the Pacific Northwest, most grocery stores stock produce imported for Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, and China.  When food is grown for export cash crops, how are areas growing the food effected? And how are communities effected when they consume imported food?

Fri, 11/05/2010

Throughout November, Ani and Lyn will celebrate resistance to our current culture of corporate rule and dominator mentality. 

Join us for a discussion about breaking through the dominator paradigm through joyous action.  If resistance isn’t fun, we aren’t doing it right. In honor of the 11th anniversary of the WTO resistance in Seattle, we will explore the use of theater, art and pranks used to pierce through the cultural numbing and alienation experienced by the masses.
 
At the end of November, there is a week held aside for Carnivalesque Rebellion, which features Buy Nothing Day.  This is an international week of resistance to the corporate culture that would have us all on hamster wheels.  This is a week wherein all people are encouraged to reclaim their lives, dream big, and create action that supports a new way of engaging with one's life.
 
Please call in with your thoughts! The studio number is 503-231-8187. We’d love to hear from you about your experience with street theater, or ideas for reclaiming our lives.  "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro".

Creating the world anew-- the spirit of revolution

Fri, 11/06/2009

Ani Raven Haines hosts a discussion of revolutionary thought and radical social change.

Remember, remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder, treason and plot

I see no reason the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

So goes the rhyme that commemorates the actions of Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up Parliament in 1605.  Fawkes was part of a radical Catholic group, that were seeking to displace Protestant rule.  In England, bonfires are lit on November 5th, and Guy Fawkes is still burnt in effigy, four hundred plus years after the original attempt. 

As social change activists, I think that one of our biggest challenges is not recreating the oppressive structures in the new world we make together.  How do we utterly change the dynamic of hierarchy and oppression, leaving them behind in the world falling around us?

Listeners called in with their experiences of engaging social change, and thoughts on creating the new world together. There is a lot to say on this subject, so let's continue this discussion online! Read my blog here, and participate in the conversation by leaving your comments.

this morning's program: host & speaker

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 12/04/2009 - 10:03am.

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

Submitted by Alan (not verified) on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 10:02am.

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

Wow... How about some positive feedback?

Submitted by E.B. Thom (not verified) on Sat, 05/31/2008 - 1:03pm.

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

Submitted by multivariablespace on Sun, 02/24/2008 - 3:12pm.

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

Submitted by Hofner on Fri, 02/08/2008 - 10:07am.

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
