The Write Question
w/ Chérie Newman

Thursdays at 6:30pm
May 16
Gregory Spatz

A grieving couple rents a desperate landlord's house in an effort to recover lost intimacy. Twins are irrevocably separated by events both beyond and within their control. A night-time prank and its gruesome aftermath forge human connections no one could have anticipated. Each of the eight stories in Gregory Spatz's 190-page collection, Half as Happy, has the depth of a novel.

 

Public Affairs
Sea Change Radio:
Fighting Power Gridlock
airs Monday, May 20, 6:30pm

Host Alex Wise talks with Ezra Garrett, the Chief Sustainability Officer from Pacific Gas and Electric, or PG&E, a private company that appears to be getting out of the way of sustainability advocates. This is no small matter, given that PG&E has a veritable monopoly in California, the nation’s most populous state. Hear from Mr. Garrett about PG&E’s track record on sustainability, what they are doing to get to the mandated threshold of 33% renewables within the next seven years, and whether they feel more comfortable backing policy or backing off from politics altogether.

 

Home Ground with Brian Kahn
Tuesdays at 6:30pm
May 21
A community is people with common interests living in the same area. But to know they have common interests, people need to communicate with each other. That still happens during a weekly get-together called Hometown Helena, and for more than twenty-five years, two friends have made it happen.
