(Airdate: April 27, 2026) KPTZ’s Taylor Clark was joined by Michael McCutcheon, Director of Reach Out to learn more about his advocacy for people who have addiction issues and are homeless. Michael has a very compelling story to tell and it is well worth hearing. Reach Out serves over 180 hot meals to people in need every Friday and they also have a fundraising concert going on on Saturday May 2nd 2026. Michael was also interviewed by Maryanne McNellis for Our Town where we learned more about Michael’s background. This Attention Please interview is sort of a companion piece exploring what Michael is doing now in our community. The Our Town interview can be found here.

(Airdate: April 15, 2026) Join Jackie Canterbury as she talks with Kurt Hoelting about his new book, Apprentice to the Wild.  Kurt’s work asks a timely question: what might the wild still have to teach us? Today we reflect on his life from early encounters with wildness to his embrace of Zen practice. At a moment when many of us feel increasingly disconnected from nature, from country, even from ourselves, wildness is a poignant topic.

One of the paintings in particular is worth mentioning….

(Airdate: April 14, 2026) Maryanne interviews John Mauro, PT City Manager. You see his name in the newspapers, he’s a regular on a weekly show on KPTZ. And he even has regular coffee sessions with community members. But do you have any idea who he really is? He studied Environmental Science and led hikes in the Himalayas. He won the prestigious Watson Fellowship which took him to Ghana, Nepal, Australia and Bolivia. He was in the Peace Corp. and later worked at an Environmental Center in Aspen, Colorado. When his wife found a job as a Professor at the University of Auckland it was off to New Zealand for seven years. That’s all before coming to PT. There’s more. Find out on Our Town.
