Steve Young is the author of...

My guest today is no stranger to this show.

So you can follow along, here are the ten deemed to hold enough quality to be considered as BEST of 2026. In alphabetical order they ar...

 My guest today, representing SQUEAKY WHEELS , is Joe Edgell. Joe is a retired US Army JAG and worked many years for the EPA in DC and Seattle. He is now a SQUEAKY WHEELS board member, working advocacy for the common good of Islanders choosing non-motorized methods of transportation, and…..for non-users of said methods as well. That might be the key to the whole issue…getting everyone together and...

Jimmy James, the iconic, semi-reluctant frontman for the legendary PNW instrumental funky soul outfit THE TRUE LOVES, has a motto, “If you don’t feel it, don’t play it.” Which, is, by a thousand percent, harder than it sounds. Mostly due to the musical reality that with any live performance, the respect and confidence necessary among bandmates to ‘make it land’ is rare. And that is what separates...

On a small Island in Puget Sound, a 200 seat one-screen theatre has been entertaining audiences since 1936. From Chaplin to Chalamet, Becall to Blanchett, larger-than-life shine the stars on its silver screen.  In chronological order, the following films screened in 2025, a rather tumultuous year in the history of cinema. Each had its own special merit, message or meaning, and each required the ta...

My guest today is Filmmaker (not singer/songwriter) Michael Murphy. Michael and his business partner/wife CIlista Eberle moved to the Island from their home in New Orleans after accepting a video production position with MSN - and taking the obligatory ferry ride across the Sound. I am wondering aloud here exactly how many of us did likewise in our initial discovery of Commodore Bill Bainbridge’s...

My guest today, Alexandra, Ali, Meiners (MY-ners), was on stage Monday night to Intro and discuss the film that brought her into our sphere of consciousness. The film, MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON, enjoyed a short but successful run, with Ali’s many talents supporting it as Line Producer.

Yesterday, In an Old School demonstration of artistic commitment, we took to the road  to visit with our first headliner act of 2026. You know, because Zoom is just too impersonal and one-dimensional - and there is nothing like LIVE. Same as in music. Live music is better. Let there be no debate. It was something like setting up in a music studio as I prepped to chat with the singer/songwriter/tea...
