The Double R Show

Episode Highlights: 

This week we rolled into Taft 7-12 and ambushed an “Ambush of Tigers”. Ever hear that term? Well according to the great WWW, that’s actually what a group of adult tigers is called, that or a “Streak of Tigers” when its a tigress mother and her cubs. 

We digress…anyways, two 1970 alumni, the Principal, and the Athletic Director were all caught in the act of peacefully watching some hoops before we pulled them into a wide-ranging conversation about Tiger Pride, athletics, and the community that keeps it all moving. Unexpected, unscripted, and very Taft.

• Principal, Nick Lupo
• Athletic Director, Zach Lillebo
• Class of 1970 Alumni, Larry and Cindy Garrison

Episode Highlights: 

Grab your favorite mug and settle in—this episode is purr-fectly brewed! We kick things off with some of the “cool cats” who are reshaping our city through economic development and urban renewal, turning ideas into action. Then, we stop by a local coffee shop that’s serving more than cappuccinos—it’s helping whiskered friends find their forever homes. Finally, Dr. Leslie Ogden joins us to share a sneak peek at exciting announcements at the hospitals.

It’s coffee, cats, and community—where good ideas percolate and good things take shape.

Episode Highlights: 

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…Will the real Neil Diamond please stand up? 

In this episode, we lean into the sparkle and the spectacle—talking with guests connected to a Neil Diamond tribute band headed to Chinook Winds Casino Resort, and shining a light on Song Sung Blue, now playing at the Bijou Theatre. The film, based on a true story, explores the heart, humor, and humanity behind tribute music—and why these songs still hit home.

Then we widen the lens from stage lights to city lights with Sandy Gruber, talking Community Days and the many ways Lincoln City proves itself to be a real diamond of a place. From music and movies to celebration and community, this episode is all about what dazzles—and why it matters.

Episode Highlights: 

This episode climbs on three fronts. Niki Price joins us to talk about the Oregon Cultural Trust—why culture matters, how you can support it, and what lifting the arts really looks like on the ground. Be sure to act now before the New Year to claim your tax credit! 

Dr. Ogden takes us skyward with the U.S. Coast Guard, breaking down helicopter operations and the real-world training that happens with Samaritan hospitals to help make rescues seamless when seconds count.

And with a clip clap clip and a little luck we hope to hear from Old St. Nick - Yes, Santa Claus himself on his most busiest of hours.

Culture, rescue, and a touch of magic—all rising together. Clear the decks, we’re going up, Up, UP.

Episode Highlights: 

This week, we’re tuning in to the voices, music, and creativity that give our community its holiday spirit. First up is Terry Voss, here to share the story behind the Pacific Coast Singers and their upcoming performance, Holiday Sounds of the Season—a true community ensemble bringing people together through song.

Next, we step into the world of classic radio with Lewis Smith, Director and Foley Artist for the upcoming production of It’s a Wonderful Life at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. He walks us through the craft of making classic radio-style sound effects live on stage—footsteps, slamming doors, swirling wind, and all the magic in between.

And finally, we welcome Serena Dressel, a new voice to many and a returning one to the community. As the new Executive Director of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, she shares what brought her back and what she’s excited to shape in the seasons ahead.

A warm, spirited episode filled with music, memory, and the sounds that make this place wonderful. Tune in and enjoy.

Episode Highlights: 

Representative David Gomberg joins Double R for a two-part briefing on the issues hitting our coast hard — prospective ICE operations, the Coast Guard helicopter’s move from Newport, ODOT’s funding squeeze, and the statewide 5% budget tightening. He cuts through the noise with what’s known, what’s in flux, and what might be getting the axe.

Aaron and his daughter Olivia from SCOUT also stop by to bring a lighter touch to the episode. They share their experience with axe throwing and the fun waiting at this locally owned and operated business — a little inspiration for holiday outings or gift ideas. And speaking of celebrations… today, December 4th, happens to be Double R’s birthday.
