[KFCF Friends] KFCF Programming updates

Thu Jul 10 18:23:33 PDT 2008

This Sunday morning, July 13th, KFCF will carry the live Pacifica coverage of The
Green Party Convention LIVE from Chicago.

In this Presidential election year, huge issues face the United States: wars in the
Middle East and saber-rattling with Iran; the danger of environmental collapse; and
the economy in recession with no end in sight... Yet on many of the most important
issues facing us, only modest differences exist between the two major parties.
However, over the weekend of July 13th, the Green Party will chart a different
course at its annual convention in Chicago. Pacifica Radio will be on site to bring
you live coverage on Sunday, July 13th. We'll air speeches, stories and sounds from
the Green Party convention, as well as terrific live interviews and analysis of the
Greens in the current political landscape. That's Sunday, July 13th,  9am-12n
pacific. Tune in for live coverage of the Green Party convention on KFCF FM 88.1
Fresno.

NEW SHOWS
Alternative Radio with host David Barsamian is going into reruns for the summer, so
in the interim we will be adding the new program "If You Love This Planet" hosted by
Dr. Helen Caldicott.
It will begin on Thursday July 17, 2008 at 1:00 PM
Thursday, July 17 - 1 :00 PM Hazards of U.S. nuclear power plants

Scientists talks about the public health risks posed by the 104 operating nuclear
power stations in the United States, and how the nuclear industry is regulated.
(Recorded in Canberra, Australia, April 9 2008). This episode also includes an
excerpt from the 1983 Oscar-winning documentary, If You Love This Planet, which

nuclear war.
Progressive Parenting with Gena Kirby - First Friday of the month at 5 PM (August 1)
Progressive Parenting is a call in show that is hosted by doula Gena Kirby. She is
not a parenting expert, but a mother of two, who understands the concerns of parents
today. Because this is a progressive show, parents will hear issues and topics they
won't hear in the mainstream media. 

Program Highlights:

Thursday, July 10 10:00 pm
The Hear and Now
East Bay guitarist Dale Miller brings his acoustic guitar to KPFA to play a few
tunes live in the studio.
Initially inspired by the folk boom of the 1960s and the solo steel-string playing
of John Fahey, Miller became one of the best-selling artists on the influential
Kicking Mule Records label, recording tracks for the Contemporary Ragtime Guitar
anthology, plus three solo LPs--including "Fingerpicking Rags and Other Delights."
His new self-produced CD of jazz, blues, pop and rock standards and originals is
"Time Goes By," the release of which Miller will be celebrating Friday, July 11, at
the Freight & Salvage Coffee House, 1111 Addison St., Berkeley. (He'll be joined at
the Freight bhy Sam Page and Allegra Broughton of Solid Air and surprise guests.)

KFCF is looking for a few things. We need a new vacumn cleaner for the office. Do
you have a working vacumn in the closet you'd like to donate? Call 559-233-2221 if
you have one or email rwithers at kfcf.org . Thanks.
Also we  have some projects we're looking at around the office we'd like to get some
help with. We have some flourescent light fixtures that need some work, a bathroom
fan that doesn't run and are looking at soundproofing some of the windows in the
studio and control room. And hopefully it'll also help keep the offices a little
more comfortable when the temperatures are extreme. Call 559-233-2221 or send an
e-mail to rwithers at kfcf.org . Thanks.
