The “Blues Ain’t Bad” program, featuring everything from Delta Blues to current blues performers, airs on Sunday mornings from 9 to 10 a.m. The only internationally distributed weekly LGBTQ radio program, “This Way Out,” currently airs on 200 local community radio stations around the world. The award-winning, half hour magazine style program features a summary of some of the major news events in or affecting the queer community (“NewsWrap”), in-depth coverage of major events, interviews with key queer figures, plus music, literature, entertainment — all the information and culture of a community on the move! As of this writing, “Soundtrack Rhapsody” (with yours truly, JD5) is proud to note its 15th episode and counting! You are all encouraged to tune in on Sundays at 3 p.m. PT, and please feel free to post any comments or suggestions on our KQUA Facebook page. You can also drop in on the page dedicated just to “Soundtrack Rhapsody” and let us know what you think of the show. ‘All ears’ for eager volunteers If any of you readers or listeners are interested in learning more about our radio operations, you’re welcome to join us as a KQUA volunteer, and if you have an idea for your own radio program, consider us ‘all ears’! Your interest and passion for radio production or for environmental concerns will find a welcoming embrace at Umpqua Watersheds and KQUA. To find out more, visit kqua.org/ volunteer/. KQUA JD5 hosts his own radio show, “Soundtrack Rhapsody,” celebrating film and TV soundtracks from 1926 to the modern day. If time is a major consideration, donations to our noble cause are always gratefully encouraged. Just visit umpquawatersheds.org/ general-donation/ to contribute. We thank you sincerely for your participation and feedback. To paraphrase other enlightened souls: “Turn on. Tune in. Do something!”
