  • Home Page Radio - HOME Away
    Thursday, February 24, 2022, 12 noon WPKN 89.5 FM www.wpkn.org
    Host: Duo Dickinson
    We have spent two years cacooning, chaffing, isolating, segregating, podding – simply sequestering to prevent infection, and for many this has meant being infected by a sense of loneliness and futility. That state has created a residential building boom in many places in the country, as we all had our noses rubbed into our domestic accommodations, and now seek to manifest our homes’ destinies.
    Things may be changing, but many have had a home history that is the polar opposite of our two years of residential hibernation.
    Some, even during The Plague, are not embedded in their beds, locked down in a ZOOM-focused life. Some abandoned traditional home-centric lives in favor of home being wherever they choose to live. Even in COVID. Home is where the heart is, and for some – and perhaps, many, many more – where home is follows their heart to foreign climbs. That wanderlust is not just for experiences, or entertainment, or even to make a living. Being “on the road” forces each of us to be itinerant home dwellers.
    The reality of taking your home with you wherever you go is an attitude that may be blissfully refreshing to the sequestered-out sofa dwellers many of us have become. HOME PAGE gathers several of these itinerants. One, WPKN’s own beloved Martha Lewis has just returned from a long adventure in China, and will be in studio. Another, Katy Purviance, trained to be an architect and then started a world tour and will be talking to us from Albania. Charlie Depman spent a decade wandering through parts of China and Asia – he has alighted in San Francisco in the tech world, but how did his time when home was where he was changed how he thinks of home?
    So Join Us as we explore the Moveable Home, how who we are, and where we are can define how we we live into our sense of HOME.

  • What a Story! hosted by Ina Chadwick | Saturday, February 26, 2022
    “Reaching Deep” Black History Month 2022
    “The Big Shot,” written by Jim Gordon. Louis, a Black man on his way home from his factory job at 2AM on a freezing night, and Carl, an elderly, well-dressed White man sitting on a bench in a dicey neighborhood in front of the apartment building where Louis lives with his mother, Bertha.
    Mistaken Identity in the Segregated South
    Written for Performance and performed by Susan Jacobson
    When a little white girl is seen in Colored Town in the small Southern town where Lillian E. Smith grew up in the early 1900s, the concerned townsfolk pluck the girl out from the wrong environment and deliver her to a more appropriate household. A White family.
    Bill Bosch in the late 1960s falls in seriously in love with a classmate. His father disapproves and makes a startling leave her or else challenge.
    Ina Chadwick was hired to develop a program to unite warring factions in an racially mixed community. She thought she was being polite but was startled to find what she believes was courteous was insult.
    Plus other stories.
