One of the great things about KBOO (Full Strength Community Radio) is that the station’s programmers have such wide latitude with their time, with time itself, in that they can play tracks that most stations won’t touch because of their length.

Jim Pepper never recorded for pop radio. Probably 95% of his recorded tracks are longer than five minutes. You need a long attention span to really hear and understand his music.

Join DJ Sesqui host of "Astral Traveling" this Sunday as we speak and listen to the dynamic duo Whiskey Barons.

Also well get a glimpse into their new upcoming original work and they will give us some thoughts on their flavorful studio techniques. DJ Standing 8 will be bringing in some Whiskey Barons heat as well as mixing fine dance cuts to add to this fun-filled funkified fat Sunday!

In Cooked, Michael Pollan explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen. Here, he discovers the enduring power of the four classical elements—fire, water, air, and earth—to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink. Apprenticing himself to a succession of culinary masters, the lessons move beyond the practical to become an investigation of how cooking involves us in a web of social and ecological relationships. Cooking, above all, connects us.  The effects of not cooking are similarly far reaching. Relying upon corporations to process our food means we disrupt an essential link to the natural world; and weaken our relationships with family and friends.
