Hosted my restless interstellar traveler Estaban Anastasio. The sound palate variety plate is the order of the evening, with cuts by Olympia post-rock band Growing, Ryuchi Sakamoto before he was Ryuchi Sakamoto, Disappointment Haturuma, and a lesser famous practitioner of krautrock, Bremen's Parzival, with, you guessed it, their cut called "Krautrock." Enjoy all the food groups.

Hosted by Ken Rodgers. Today, Ken plays host to his usual co-host Rebecca Evan, and guest Hannah Rodabaugh. Hannah Rodabaugh is the author of the poetry collection Lost Cathedral (Cornerstone

Press) and four chapbooks of poetry, including We Don’t Bury Our Dead When Our

Dead Are Animals and The Leonids. Her poetry has been featured in The Indianapolis

Along with Tangled by Blood, she’s authored a collection-length poem, Safe Handling, and a flash essay collection, AfterBurn (Moon Tide Press, January, 2026). Rebecca is also the co-editor of the poetry anthology, When There Are Nine, a literary tribute to the life and achievements of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and a co-host of the Writer-to-Writer show on Radio Boise.

💗✨ Quieting the Noise: Valentine’s Day and More ✨💗

Valentine’s Day—and honestly, life in general—can stir up grief, loneliness, old memories, or unmet hopes. 💔🌱 If this week feels tender, complicated, or like you’re slightly out of step with the world around you, please hear this: you are not alone.

One day does not define your worth.

One relationship does not define your lovability.

One season does not define your life.

On today’s episode of Elementary Watson, we’re sharing quick, practical tools to gently lift your mood—no matter the reason. 🧠💛 These simple practices support your nervous system and help soften emotional weight, especially on days that feel heavier than expected.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about offering steadiness, compassion, and care. 🌿

Small actions matter.

Kindness counts.

Your pace is allowed.

And most of all—you are not missing out. ✨

📻 Tune in Tuesday on @radioboise from 4–5pm on Radio Boise with Jo-Ellen Watson and Sheepdog for a conversation that meets you right where you are. 💫
