Renowned Oregon Governor Tom McCall would have turned 100 years old this year. To commemorate this larger-than-life figure, Know Your City (formerly the Dill Pickle Club) commissioned a comic book about McCall's controversial decision to fund the Vortex I rock festival in 1970, which drew anti-war activists away from an American Legion convention in Portland. Author Sarah Mirk, who created the comic with artist Daniel Duford, joins Kick-Ass Oregon History founder Doug Kenck-Crispin to regale listeners with the history they didn't learn in school. Sarah will also share details about how to participate in the newest Know Your City project, Comics for Change.
It's sci-fi adventure on this month's episode of Sub-Human Intellect Theater! First, we have another installment of the long-running short-form series Memoirs From the Psych Ward. Then we're joined in the studio by KBOO Program Director and co-host of Life During Wartime, Erin Yanke, who will be conducting an on-air evaluation of our show. And for the main event, we present Stoner Trek, the long-lost episode of the original 1960's TV series Star Trek, which coincidently has another movie spin-off in theaters this month! All that plus letters from listeners and a behind-the-scenes look at how we produce this show and more on Sub-Human Intellect Theater!
Jim Pepper: Re-imagining a Jazz Sensibility on KBOO 90.7FM
Tune into KBOO 90.7FM this Saturday May 25 2:00-3:30pm PST for an hour and a half of rare Jim Pepper audio tracks, Jim PepperFest 2013 updates and sparkling, witty and erudite conversation on The Motif’s show.
One of the great things about KBOO (Full Strength Community Radio) is that the station’s programmers have such wide latitude with their time, with time itself, in that they can play tracks that most stations won’t touch because of their length.
Jim Pepper never recorded for pop radio. Probably 95% of his recorded tracks are longer than five minutes. You need a long attention span to really hear and understand his music.
