Whidbey AIR has been assisting the Home Connections School in Oak Harbor with a radio lab class again this semester, and oh what fun! It is our 2nd year working with Home Connections.
Adding some spice to the class this year, Home Connections teacher Kelly Hall contacted KIRO Radio’s Rachel Belle and asked her to come to Home Connections to share with our students what it’s like to be a “real” radio host. In her usual bubbly fashion Rachel agreed !
December 14th – Rachel came to the Home Connections campus in Oak Harbor, held an assembly for the students, showed them some of the equipment she uses to record and produce her show, and answered student questions about who, what, why and how she became a radio personality, produces her shows and find ideas for her subjects.
Then they all loaded up into parents cars and mini vans and headed to the Whidbey AIR studio for an on air LIVE interview with Rachel.
If you missed that interview it will be available again in Feb. IN conjunction with the Home Connections radio show “Home Connections Radio Magazine” – stay tuned.
If you have a kid who’s interested in recording, radio, music or hosting a show – contact us at feedback@kwparadio.org and we’ll set up a meeting time to help your young broadcaster what it takes to get involved with Whidbey AIR.

Synethesia is a condition of the sensory brain where a person can actually hear color. Kim Tinuviel has this condition. Synethesia has profoundly influenced both Kim’s work as photographer and as a classically trained musician. Tinuviel is a graduate of the famous Juliard school for talented musical performers. During this interview Isle co-hosts Mary Rose Anderson and Annie Zeller Horton experiment with trying to hear colors while listening to some of Kim’s music.
The influence of time and the elements on surface and color is the basis for the photographic series ChromoAlchemy, which is showing at Galeria Chiropractica in Bayview on Whidbey Island, December 2012 through January 2013. While the composition of each of these abstract and impressionistic images originates from some everyday object or other, that original source may no longer be obvious. Indeed, the viewer is encouraged to look beyond the literal and bring his or her own perception to the interpretation, thereby rendering the source object irrelevant. The title of the series, ChromoAlchemy is derived from the Greek, chromo (khroma: color) and alchemy (chumeia: mixture).

KWPA Whidbey AIR streams Whidbey-centric programming 24 hours a day from its web site at http://www.kwparadio.org. KWPA is also available to smart phone and tablet users through the iTunes web site. In recent months, the station has added dozens of hours of local programming by Whidbey artists and others.
“We are the voice of Whidbey Island to the world,” said Gwen Samelson, president of KWPA’s board. “The internet gives us the ability to stream our local programming to all those who love our island – no matter where they are.”
The station is currently in an urgent fundraising drive to keeps its internet stream going. KWPA, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, needs at least $15,000 per year to pay for music licensing, studio rent, insurance, utilities and other basic costs. All donations to KWPA are tax deductible.

Plugging right along building a radio station is just the same as building a house. It is taking twice (or 3 times) as long and twice (or 5 times) the cost! None the less we’re getting down with some training for new hosts.
Art Durand is joined by Dianna Worth, Annie Zeller-Horton and Jen McGrath.
Art and Dianna will be doing live shows (recorded while live for re-broadcast) while Annie and Jen will be doing pre-recordings of readings (poetry, children’s stories, short stories, just to name a few genres they’ll be working with.
It’s a good summer for KWPA Whidbey Air! Hope it’s a good one for you too!

This requested rebroadcast of Whidbey Air’s Isle of the Arts with Mary Rose Anderson – covers e-publishing, the new age of the author being in charge of their own promotion, production and publishing of material books and e-books. We received so many requests for a rebroadcasting of this show – we thought Presidents Day was a good day to do it – in hopes many are NOT at work and are home to listen.
“To me it’s the best time to be an author”. Laurie McLean
