Hillary Culhane - host of Beyond & Back
Besides being the name of a great song by X, Beyond and Back is the title of my show on KRCB. I like to play a mix of old R&B, Soul, and soulful Country-- and the modern groups that trace their roots back to this music. I also feature a geographic set each week, focusing on a different city and its particular musical culture. Beyond and Back also includes concert information, music-related news, and tributes to the bright lights of the musical world. Want to know how many bands have recorded songs by Leadbelly? Want to hear the latest music coming out of New Orleans? Want to hear back-to-back versions of "Ring of Fire"? Then listen in to Beyond and Back-- and be sure to call with your request.
Be sure to check out Beyond & Back on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month, 8:00-10:00 pm on KRCB-FM Radio 91!

Hosted by Brian Griffith
On top of great music to elevate the mood of your weekday mornings, Brian has artist interviews and live in-studio performances as well as hourly NPR news.Here's what we know about Brian: Brian's musical career started many years ago not far from his current home in Petaluma. He played in bands throughout his young life performing all over Northern California. After a move to Los Angeles in the early 1980s, his focus shifted from onstage to in print. He became a music journalist writing for industry publications like HITS and BAM. This led to a chance to write and produce radio shows for some of the largest networks in the US. Being over L.A. in the mid-nineties, Brian returned to the North Bay and took a seat in front of the microphone. His easy repartee with artists shines through during KRCB's Morning Show each weekday. Recent visits include Steve Earle, Kenny Loggins, newcomer Jade Jackson, and local favorite David Luning. His love of music, both old and new, keeps the show fresh and informative. Tune in Monday thru Friday at 9 am.

Mouthful launched on November 2, 1995, as an exploration of the farms and foods of Sonoma County. It was based, loosely, on host Michele Anna Jordan's first book, A Cook's Tour of Sonoma. Today, Mouthful continues to focus on the remarkable natural abundance of Sonoma County and the talents of those who work our fertile land, but we branch out, too, not only to surrounding counties but to the state, the country, and beyond. Over the years, guests have included artist, writer, and filmmaker Eleanor Coppola, Chef John Ash, restaurateur Alice Waters, chef Jacques Pepin, Julia Child, chef Eric Ripert, filmmaker Les Blank and hundreds of others, including several return visits by Mouthful's first guest, Steve Garner, co-host of The Good Food Hour on KSRO-AM.We like to think of Mouthful as a conversation around a dinner table, so pour yourself a glass of wine and join us every Sunday evening. If you can't tune in live, you can listen on demand using our free KRCB App. Although we sometimes talk about cooking, Mouthful is not a cooking show. We take the time to get to know our guests, we go beyond sound bites, and we look at food, wine, and farming in the larger context of our lives. We’re sometimes political, always passionate, sometimes serious, often lighthearted and occasionally even silly. If you eat, you’ll enjoy Mouthful.
Mouthful is a four-time James Beard Award Nominee for Electronic Journalism.

This American Life is a weekly public radio show broadcast on more than 500 stations to about 2.1 million listeners. There's a theme to each episode, and a variety of stories on that theme. It's mostly true stories of everyday people, though not always. There's lots more to the show, but it's sort of hard to describe. Probably the best way to understand the show is to start at our favorites page, http://www.thisamericanlife.org/favorites , though we do have longer guides to our radio show and our TV show. If you want to dive into the hundreds of episodes we've done over the years, there's an archive of all our old radio shows and listings for all our TV episodes, too.Ira Glass Host and Executive Producer
Ira Glass started working in public radio in 1978, when he was 19, as an intern at NPR's headquarters in DC. Over the next 17 years, he worked on nearly every NPR news show and did nearly every production job they had: tape-cutter, desk assistant, newscast writer, editor, producer, reporter, and substitute host. He spent a year in a high school for NPR, and a year in an elementary school, filing stories for All Things Considered. He moved to Chicago in 1989 and put This American Life on the air in 1995.

"I like the vitality of in-studio, roundtable interviews," Gil says, "when you have several authors sitting at the same table and focusing on the same theme, you get real conversations.

Gil Mansergh should be familiar to many KRCB listeners. His movie review columns appear in four Sonoma County newspapers, and his Cinema Toast radio show has been a Thursday morning staple on KRSH-FM for seven years.

Born and raised in China, Yiyun’s parents were victims of the cultural revolution but still encouraged their daughter to succeed in anything she chose to do. And succeed she did. Word By Word listeners may recall her conversation with Gil Mansergh where she explained how she wrote her first novel, The Vagrants in English and won the Gold Medal of California Book Award for first fiction.
Since then, her books have been translated into more than twenty languages. She was selected by Granta as one of the 21 Best Young American Novelists under 35, named by The New Yorker as one of the top 20 writers under 40, and the MacArthur Foundation named her a 2010 fellow. She is a contributing editor to the Brooklyn-based literary magazine, A Public Space.

Your Average Abalone is an underwater adventure diving into the musical currents of folk, bluegrass, alternative country, singer songwriter, americana and more. Johnny has hosted Your Average Abalone since KRCB first began broadcasting in 1994.
Chronic Catastrophe is a four-episode podcast about the impacts of cumulative climate change-induced disasters on our minds, bodies and spirits. Ultimately, we ask the question: Is it worth the risk to our mental and physical health, and to our psyches, to continue to live in a place where disaster is unrelenting? Over the past four years, Sonoma County has seen a 100-year flood, a historic drought and six major wildfires that have killed 114 people, destroyed more than 18,000 buildings, caused more than half the county to evacuate their homes, and subjected us to months of bad air days and routine power shut-offs.
