Fri, 10/21/2011

Checking in with mini-Astrology and Tarot readings for the masses.

As Samhain fast approaches and the wheel of the year turns us towards winter, Ani and Lyn thought it a fine time to tune in to the patterns of energy affecting us all. Combining their intuitive skills in tarot and astrology, they will offer brief on-air readings for callers to the program.

According to the Celtic tradition, this is the time of year where the veil between the worlds grows thinnest, allowing for psychic insight, and communicating with those who have passed over. This is a time that many cultures honor and celebrate the dead and ancestors. To continue that tradition, Ani and Lyn will welcome calls from listeners who would like to give thanks to an ancestor, celebrating their names and deeds.

There will be a very limited number of private consultations by Ani and Lyn offered as a thank-you gift to our listeners who contribute during the program. These consultations are a rare opportunity to have a more in depth reading with these two talented practioners.

Permaculture! Getting skills to build our world in balance. NW Permaculture Convergence 10/14 - 16

Matt Bibeau will join Ani and Lyn to talk about permaculture.  What is it, and why is it important?  How can permaculture help us in these interesting times in which we find ourselves?  There is change all around us, and we know we need to transform our culture.  What tools does permacuture offer us on a local level? 

The Northwest Permaculture Convergence will be held October 14 - 16th. With supporting events around the convergence there are opportunities to get involved in this transformative movement; providing opportunities for our bio-region to take a leap forward in the work that we need to do to transition from a degenerative to a regenerative culture. 

Matt Bibeau is a core organizer of the Permaculture Convergence, a 4-day event focusing on proactive solutions to meeting the social, ecological and economical needs of our times, on a scale that builds community and local resiliency.

Matt received his Masters degree from Portland State University, he is a resident and educator at Tryon Life Community Farm where he serves as the organization's in-house permaculture teacher, as well as the Development Director of their outdoor school: Mother Earth School. Matt is also a core organizer of City Repair's Village Building Convergence and serves on the board of the Learning Gardens Institute and Wisdom of the Elders.

With so many urgent situations, what's your priority for the US? Avoid letting fear be your guide.

As a nation we are ignoring the very real threats of climate change, a collapsing economy & humanitarian / basic support programs, and never ending wars at home and abroad, while continuing the madness of anti-terrorism hysteria. 

Join Ani for a discussion on how fear is hurting us. What are you most concerned about?  Spriraling poverty? Climate change? The continuation of wars, seemingly without end? The ending of crucial social programs?  or the threat of a terrorist, doing something... somewhere, sometime.....
 
Joshua Holland is Ani's guest this morning. He is an editor and senior writer at AlterNet, and has just published the article “How Fearmongering Over Terrorism Is Endangering American Communities.”

Perspective checked! Ani & Lyn explore the importance of travel.

What did you do on your summer vacation?  Ani accompanied her partner to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a little medical tourism.  She wandered a city rich in street art and protests, and is left with the nagging question, "What can we do to bring people in the US out of alienation and apathy?"

Traveling is a great way to gain a new perspective of what is all around us.  As we live our lives day to day, our surroundings often become invisible.  Every now and again it's crucial to get out of our own fishbowls, so we can really see what's going on inside. 

Please join us with your stories, your questions, and your comments at 503-231-8187, or email us at positivelyrevolting@gmail.com.

this morning's program: host & speaker

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 12/04/2009 - 10:03am.

I am a daily KBOO listener; however, while todays speaker while speaking from the heart regarding her dismay over the Afganistan theater of war, she makes vague statements, with great emotion, but few references to facts, which could easily be woven into her statements to make them more illuminating, it would give more power to her rally cries. Tt feels as though I am simply listening to hyperbole LIKE ON CREEPY FOX NEWS!  The Hosts of the program, similarly, are never probing or asking for clarification of the important issue, an important question to probe is: "why ARE we there?".  This program is dithering, and the speaker is bland, unconvincing of any knowledge base, boring, 10th rate.  Additionally, this is typical of the "Positively Revolting" hour, I usually never tune in when I know these two hosts will be on, bcs. it is never a provoking program, it rarely reveals or provides any new information about anything.  If this program has to continue to be on at all, consider putting it on late at night....it is pablum. 

Good Sista' Bad Sista' on the other hand was a great relief for me on Friday morning's programing, those women are sharp, witty and smart. 

Do not dumb us down with this progam "Positively Revolting", it is a zero.

Pay Equality

Submitted by Alan (not verified) on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 10:02am.

I recently heard the argument that the pay differential between men and women is actually fair. This idea is based on the situation of women living longer than men but work the same period of time. This argument claims that the total difference of pay between men and women equals the cost of additional medical care spent for women in their senior years.

For example, let's say a man and a woman work the same number of years (about 40), in the same job with the same responsibilities, and the man makes 10% more than the woman. Say that the job pays (in constant dollars) an average of $30,000 over the forty years. The man makes $1.2 million over this period and the woman makes $1.08 million.

The difference is $120,000. Now at age 60, a man will generally live to be 75 and a woman will live to be 85. Most medical expenses are incurred in the last ten years of live. These costs are paid mostly by public funds through MediCare. The pay_inequality_is_fair argument holds that this $120,000 pay differential is used by society to pay the additional medical expenses that women use and men don't.

I realize that this argument will float like a lead zeppelin on the Positively Revolting community. However, you may want to be aware of it so you don't get blindsided by it in a public debate on the issue.

Thank you,
Alan in Portland

Wow... How about some positive feedback?

Submitted by E.B. Thom (not verified) on Sat, 05/31/2008 - 1:03pm.

I must have picked a good week to start listening to KBOO. My unhealthy addiction to KPOJ has been shaken. What stirred me to radio hop was the recent clubbing and scrubbing of morning show co-host Heidi Tauber.

Thankfully (along with news I'm not hearing elsewhere) I struck gold with back to back to back mornings of call in shows which were right up my avenue. On Wednesday Barbara Bernstein and friends of the 40 Mile Loop took me on a bike ride down memory lane. The next day, Dave and Jo Ann took on the very difficult but extremely important topic of race and justice in America. I found the candor of the hosts and callers-in to be a much needed breath of fresh air.

Yesterday was quite synergenic. I didn't think anything Positively Revolting would be my pint of brew, but the community of thought that came together was positively revolutionary. I'm still not entirely successful in finding joy amidst the madness, but the range of emotions I was able to experience during the show were a welcome departure from depression. Together we just may succeed... or at least, survive.

KBOO, I think I love U. (And Jeff always has sumpin' to say to go along with that sexy voice! I'm glad he seems to hop around the dial too.)

Friday's Program Was Not Acceptable

Submitted by multivariablespace on Sun, 02/24/2008 - 3:12pm.

HI,
I like to listen to KBOO in the morning when I drive to work. I usually learn something interesting and enjoy the thought provoking discussion. Last Friday (2/22/08) about 8AM their was a caller who make a very good point about the disparity of wealth being less meaningful then the disparity of consumption. I thought it was an excellent point he made, someone has to own the companies that employ people, and the companies have a great deal of value, but it's not liquid and it's not like the owner is spending it all the time. The radio show host really put the caller down, and I don't feel even tried to understand, let alone address his argument. Furthermore, the co-host said that the whole discussion was too "intellectual", like it's not okay to think on a talk radio show. I felt like the hosts just wanted to complain about people being rich, without addressing anything of substance. I expect this sort of opinion driven mush on AM talk radio, but I feel it is below the standards of KBOO. I"m really disappointed.
-Ryan

Appropriate title - Positively Revolting

Submitted by Hofner on Fri, 02/08/2008 - 10:07am.

One is wise to pick their battlefields, as well as their battles - this is mine. As a listener to this morning's program, I initially thought I had some valid opinions to voice with regard to the topics presented. Since the lines were busy, I was satisfied to just listen. The objects of my opinions changed radically as I did so - the topics of discussion soon took a back seat to the format of the discussions. Are calls only taken based upon the caller's willingness to agree with Ms. Silverwolf? Time after time, she disconnected callers based upon her unwillingness to allow their point of view to be heard.

Granted, not everyone is skilled at making a point; however, that is where the skilled[?] announcer should be trusted to guide the conversation, not terminate it. While Ms. Silverwolf may be a volunteer, bravely taking on the awesome responsibility of accepting live calls from the public on volatile subjects, she should remember that it IS community radio, not just a forum for those who agree with her.

Based upon what I heard this morning, I am seriously reconsidering my continued support of KBOO.

Most sincerely, and thank you for not taking my call
