Full Circle KPFA

Tonight we’re gonna talk about addictions to drugs and alcohol and overcoming them. In 2005 I kicked a 10 year addiction to meth. On tonight’s show I’ll share my story entitled The Glass Pipe, two friends that journey through meth addiction.

We’ll also speak with our special guest, Azi ,who will share her experience strength and hope as we reach out to others still struggling with addiction.

And we will open up the phone lines for you to share your personal experiences with addictions.

Finally, The First Voice Apprenticeship Program are still accepting applications. Yes, we extended our deadline because our website was down so in order to accommodate folks that had trouble applying, the window is still open.

We’ll talk about all that and more tonight on Full Circle. Stay tuned.

On tonights show we will discuss how wildfires pose a deadly threat to our forests and communities. Yet the increasing intensity and impact of these fires is- in part- the result of our misunderstanding of fire.. The documentary “Wilder Than Wild” reveals how fire suppression and climate change have exposed our forests- and wildland-urban landscapes- to large, high intensity wildfires... and it explores strategies to mitigate the impact of these fires. Tonight, we’ll hear excerpts from the film and speak with film producers Kevin White and Stephen Most.
