When destiny calls, sometimes it leads you to your namesake on a map and into the heart of a community that becomes your own. In our latest episode, we sit down with Patrick Cleary, a former Wall Street banker turned Humboldt County archivist, who shares his incredible journey from the buzz of high finance to the serene shores of Big Lagoon. Patrick's midlife transformation is not just inspiring; it embodies the power of a name and the magnetic pull of a place that feels like home.
Tuning in, you'll be treated to the inside scoop on how Patrick took the reins of KHUM radio at its darkest hour and turned it into the soundtrack of Humboldt. It's a story of bold risks, strategic leadership, and a commitment to preserving the local soundscape in a world where cookie-cutter radio reigns supreme. Witness the rebirth of the station within the historic Carson Block building, and discover how figures like Cliff Berkowitz, Mike Dronkers, and Larry Trask have left an indelible mark on the local broadcasting scene.
Wrapping up, we celebrate the musical heartbeat of Humboldt County, from the much-loved Folklife Festival to the educational workshops that cultivate talent in the redwoods. Patrick offers a peek into his own musical ventures, from recording his songs to performing live, proving it's never too late to chase a new dream. So pull up a chair and join us for a symphony of stories that celebrate the enduring spirit of local culture and the transformative journeys that connect us all.
