Thursday Night Special
Thursday nights are special!
First Thursday: Jasmine Jones hosts Next Step Forward, a spotlight on millennials of Kansas City who are within a marginalized group, but are using their talents, business, activism etc. to help bring positivity within their communities. This program exists to be a place that is inclusive, safe, fun, inspirational and educational not only for the listeners but for the guest as well.
Second Thursday: Shots in the Night radio theatre; hosted and produced by various members of Shots In The Night. In 2023 SITN has received seven awards for podcast productions in the 9th Annual Hear Now Audio Fiction and Arts Festival produced by the National Audio Theatre Festivals, Inc.
Third Thursday: People Power Hour, brought to you by KC Tenants, hosts a rotation of speakers featuring members and leaders from KC Tenants and other tenant unions across the country to analyze, inform, and inspire listeners about the power of tenant unions in America. Every episode will showcase a different lesson about tenant unions and America's problematic history with housing by providing in-depth historical analysis, testimonials and stories from leaders who organized in their communities, and collectively brainstorming a vision for a better world where housing is treated as a human right.
Fourth Thursday: Sirisha Naidu and Taki Manolakos host Economics For the People, a journey to explore the transformative power of economics when it is harnessed for the working classes, to advance social justice, and to create an inclusive and equitable society. It is an open invitation to participate in collectively shaping and reimagining an economy that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of the working classes, marginalized communities, and individuals of different gender expressions, sexualities, and abilities. The show features diverse voices, experiences and perspectives that often remain unheard in mainstream conversations about economics, markets and numbers.
Fifth Thursday: The provocative "From Ark to Microchip", produced by Dwight Frizzell, mixes commentary, dramatic re-enactment, original music, historic voices, audio art and sound effects in a pan-historical, pan-cultural milieu. Programs in the program series have received several awards.
Note: These programs may be preempted by special presentations.
Travel isn’t always a peaceful experience – whether on a bus, train, plane or automobile. We’ve heard the terms Road Rage, Air Rage and Line Rage – whatever you call it, when people travel, our patience is tested, conflicts arise, and keeping the peace within a traveling community can be a challenge. This time on Peace Talks Radio , a discussion on Tempering Travel Rage.
Our two guests help us learn to stay calm as we co-create traveling communities with fellow voyagers. We talk with Diana Fairechild, an aviation health & safety author and expert witness who was an international flight attendant for 21 years and Dr. Leon James, expert and author on Road Rage who is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Hawaii. Suzanne Kryder hosts this segment.
Then in a second part to the program…We have lots of relationships in our lives. Each presenting unique challenges in conflict resolution. This time on Peace Talks Radio , we focus on dating, partnering, and marriage relationships. It’s a huge and timeless topic that gets plenty of attention in popular media but we didn’t want to ignore it on Peace Talks. We won’t unlock all the mysteries of relationships in this half hour but we hope to get a fresh take on them in a conversation with Jackie Woods – a life teacher, author and founder of the Adawehi Institute, a healing center in Columbus, North Carolina. Guest Host: Paul Ingles.
