James Mercer Langston Hughes was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist from Joplin, Missouri. He moved to New York City as a young man, where he made his career. He was one of the earliest innovators of the new literary art form called jazz poetry. Langston Hughes spoke to an audience in Berkeley in 1958 and Pacifica Radio was there. He told stories from his life, including his childhood, his family’s confrontation of racism and discrimination, and how he got started writing. He also reads from his poems.

You Heard It Here 11am That time of year, preparing our garden to feed us for the year to come. My early inspiration came from Barbara and Elliot; today we hear a Real Organic Podcast interview with Barbara Damrosch about her newest book "A Life In The Garden" that reminds us that the best garden advice is practical: touch the soil, grow what you’ll eat, and keep learning season after season. Barbara shares stories with Dave from her lifetime of writing, filming a television show and farming alongside her husband Eliot Coleman.
Another Monday? Another Rockin' Pneumonia tribute special! The multi-part memorial to some of those we lost last year continues.

Tune in to hyper-local KBFG 107.3 North Seattle. Monday night @ 9pm & Sunday Encore @ 2pm. Sponsored by The Tin Hat.

Ok, so you’ve regularly read my screed promoting wild covers on my “PUGET SOUNDZ” show on KBFG-FM but those are usually ‘all over the musical map’ as far as mixing up all the genres – but it’s still my birthday [or week at least (!)] so how about focusing just on great avant jazz versions of classic Dixieland and related songs?! I mean like the World Saxophone Quartet playing ‘Amazing Grace’ or Sunny Murray & co. on “Over the Rainbow”; Eugene Chadbourne dissecting “Yr Feet’s too big” & Air tackling Jelly Roll Morton; even Mingus breaking down Kid Ory…and so much more! Only on 107.3 on yr FM radio and KBFGSeattle.org/listen on the web, on Mon. Feb. 16th at 5pm & Wed. Feb. 18th at 7pm PST!
