West Marin Road Projects, Water Rate Hikes, Rodoni hosts, and West Marin Climate Action. Hear about all those topics on this past week’s ‘Epicenter” episodes.

The week of March 11th is “B Week”…a good chance to warm up and chill out with “Hawaii Calling” on Saturday from 2-4pm!

It has begun. It is inevitable and I hope that I have not started too soon like I did last year (because then you have to do it again). I have the right gear to handle what comes my way. I was recently at a programmer gathering at KWMR, and when we were all heading out midday Sunday, several of us commented that we were heading home to do the same thing.

Yep, weeding.

The week of March 4th is an “A Week”…which means it’s a “Mesa Refuge” week! Tune in Tuesday from 4-5pm to hear interviews with current residents at Mesa Refuge writer’s retreat…”

“KWMR has a great Board of Directors. Our meetings are concise and cover all the bases. We laugh together and take care of business. A few of our stalwart members are terming out, and we would like to invite folks interested in joining the Board to reach out…”

“It has been five years since KWMR produced Sweethearts of the Radio. I will admit that my event-muscle-memory is a little on the weak side, but I didn’t forget too many critical things. It was a great concert and the crowd was fabulous! The musicians nailed it and Nina Gerber’s pup sort of stole the show. Dogs will be dogs…”

The week of February 25th is “B Week”…which means it’s a “Voices of the Valley” week!

“This past weekend was spent immersed in long-time friendships. A group of eight of us, with many cross-connected ways of knowing one another, were fortunate enough to enjoy some time together. We hung out, visited the elephant seals, and ate lots of great food…”

Join us on Friday May 2nd, 2025 for “KWMR Day!”…to celebrate all things local radio. Event details coming soon… Why May 2nd? 26 years ago, on May 2nd, 1999, KWMR first went on-air. So now… every May 2nd is “KWMR Day!”

The week of February 11th is an “A Week”…which means it’s a “Shorty’s Bunkhouse” week!

“Shining at me, unless they are cloudy skies that hold a lot of moisture in them. Maybe even an atmospheric river could be hiding behind those clouds. We experienced this over the last two weeks and the creeks did rise…”

The week of February 4th is a “B Week”…which means…”Bakersfield & Beyond!”

“It seems like every year we run the flag up the pole to reach out to our lawmakers and protect public media. As of December 2024 HBO Max, who had been airing Sesame Street, kicked the program to the curb (only playing older episodes through 2027) to focus on more adult content. What does that even mean?”

The week of Jan 14th is a “B Week!”

“‘Sweethearts of the Radio’ has been going on much longer than my involvement at KWMR. It was one of KWMR’s first recurring events. I also know that other than missing the past four years due to COVID there have been other gaps over the years for various reasons. So maybe this is the 20th out of 26 years? I am just not sure, but it has a long history…”

Join KWMR Radio on Saturday evening, February 22nd, for the return of our annual “Sweethearts” concert, featuring Laurie Lewis and Nina Gerber as well as Misner & Smith. With MC’s Jorge Martinez and Mia Johnson-Martinez. Doors at 6:30 PM. Show starts at 7 pm. The KWMbaR will be serving refreshments. All proceeds benefit KWMR West Marin Community Radio.  We can’t wait to bring this one back to the Dance Palace. See you there! PS: This event sells out, so get your tickets early!

The week of Jan 14th is a “B Week!”

“There are a lot of songs about fire – by The Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, Dave Alvin, X, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Metallica, to name a few.

It doesn’t feel right to play those songs right now on the radio for broadcast…”

The week of Jan 7th is an “A Week!”
