four winds radioGot a story to tell? Information to share? Then you should should step into the KBGA studio for an interview. Share your news with our listeners on Tribal Scene Radio at KBGA, 89.9 FM. You can find us here on this Tribal Scene link at KBGA.org.

You can also listen to a live stream every Friday, 8 to 9 a.m. Mountain time.

You can also check out the archived shows. We are working at getting them all posted. But, the first shows are up now for your listening pleasure. Meanwhile, I’d like to include a wide range of voices on the air, including poets, newsmakers, activists, comedians, entrepreneurs, story tellers, musicians, tobacco warriors and folks who simply have something to say the folks tuning in. A few of the guests so far have been Sam McCracken, Gary Farmer and Arne Vainio. This Friday, I have Elrae Potts, a local community leader, in the studio to talk about AlterNative’s tobacco cessation work in tribal communities. We’re also joined in the studio with Roger White Jr. Note: If you can’t make it into the studio, I can do a phone interview and get it on the air. I can also have more than one guest on at a time, so, if you want to invite a colleague or friend to join you, it can be done.

I also need to mention that we also have a music portion at the end of the one-hour program where we play music from inspiring Native musicians. Last week, I loaded music on Spinitron  — you can see all the music that’s been played on the air — from Martha Red Bone, Micki Free and Casper Lomadawa to name a few artists. We look forward to spinning more records for our audience. If you got the music, send it our way. We will play it — blues, rap, pop, traditional. I’ve been jazzed by the music I’ve heard so far. I’ve been missing out on a lot of good music. Now, I get to play it for thousands of other people.

One more thing: We have a section on the show for community announcements. So send us your news bits to tribalscene@kbga.org. If you’re reading this announcement, share it with your friends.
