Monday at 6:00 pm
EcoRadio KC is a magazine show, including live segments, prerecorded stories, and interviews. The show is being created by a collective of local community organizers and activists. The group chooses a theme for each show which is then produced and hosted by someone from the team. In addition, we draw upon other members of the community as well as area organizations for their knowledge, experience, and ideas.
EcoRadio KC explores our interdependence with the rest of the world, showing the connections between the ways we choose to live and the health of the whole community of life. As a result, we plan to cover a wide range of topics, including local & regenerative agriculture, energy conservation & efficiency, justice, eco-villages, alternative medicine, indigenous peoples, clean energy, local food systems, biofuels, the need for multicultural participation in social change, global warming & climate disruption, extinction, green building and chemistry, and consumerism. If you have any questions or comments about the show or would like to get involved with the team that produces it, please send an email to EcoRadioKC@gmail.com or Listen to Eco-Radio KC Archives

The specialty I bring to the "EcoRadio KC" show and KKFI 90.1 FM is my interest in Natural Medicine. I have been involved in all aspects of how to heal our bodies using natural and alternative methods, i.e., healing diet, herbs, energy healing, etc. I have been a "Reiki Master" for several years, practicing many types of energy healing techniques. I feel that all disease and physical imbalances begin on an "energetic" level and when dealt with on that level first, we can avoid the physical manifestation before it becomes a serious disease or illness.
