To All of Our Wonderful 2012 Donors
 Thanks very much to everyone who made a financial contribution to KBOO last year. It is very gratifying that so many people value our work and recognize the importance of taking a little responsibility for helping support us. While the numbers are not yet finalized, the generosity of our online donors in December may have set a new record for online giving to KBOO in a single month; but if not the total will be very close to the record. And that doesn't include the many former KBOO members who decided to renew their membership last month. Oh and your tax documents will arrive late this month. More info here. |

Radio Pictures - KBOO's 2013 Film Series
 Thursday, Jan 10, 7:00pm
Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton St.KBOO Radio and the Clinton Street Theater have a partnership to bring you a monthly film series about...well, it could be about radio, or any of the many types of programs that KBOO airs -- politics, labor, human rights and of course, lots of music. Our kickoff screening is THIS THURSDAY and we will present the 1988 film TALK RADIO, in which a rude, contemptuous talk show host becomes over- whelmed by the hatred that surrounds his program just before it goes national. Watch the trailer below.  | | Movie Trailer 1988 Talk Radio |
This film had its genesis in Portland. Tad Savinar, co-writer, talked about his role recently at the Oregon Sesquicentennial Film Festival. The story goes that Tad Savinar was listening to the radio as he painted when Eric Bogosian visited him, and as they marveled over the vitriol they were hearing. Thus, TALK RADIO was born. KBOO host Lisa Loving will introduce the film and concept behind Radio Pictures, her experience as a KBOO talk radio host and board member - and will then introduce Carl Wolfson, who has agreed to come and talk about his experience as a progressive talk radio host in PDX, for Clear Channel - and his new online show.

KBOO DJ Top Tens from 2012
What is so appealing about the Top Ten list? I read them even when I don't even care about the subject and I read them with fervor when they are about something I care about. Some KBOO DJs have joined in and you can use our lists to explore genres of music with which you are not familiar, or to simply catch up on releases that you may have missed. |
