Change Your Day

A revitalized blog with one mission: to present a moment that jolts your day, triggers new thinking, gets you through traffic tangles, and relieves job stress. Or, more prosaically, accompanies you through the early miles of bike touring through France and Italy. Wherever you are, I aim to change your day.

MARIE EQUI Right At Home on WILD PLANET RADIO

9/16/2015

 
A perfect, welcoming stop for MARIE EQUI on the Portland book tour: an interview on the nation's first full-time FM radio station devoted to Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer & Questioning people.

Wild Planet Radio KPQR 99.1 FM claimed the distinction as first in the country for a community-based operation on June 12 this year. Now they are in full voice with more than 30 volunteers.  KPQR strives to cover all the issues and stories of the community and to give people the tools to communicate better as community participants. 

Dale Danley and I were happy to meet Bobby Harsell -- the man with the vision for the station -- and general manager George Holman.  My interview with George was a great opportunity to share Marie Equi's story with a wider audience. Have a listen here to the 21 minute program.

Portland area readers: please support KPQR 99.1 FM and keep its valuable voice loud and strong and proud.
