We reveal how Key City Public Theater and its Artistic Director, Denise Winter, both may have been teetering on the brink of collapse. Neither is completely out of the woods yet, but all signs point to a happy ending.

#63 Hillary Metzger
(first airdate: May 24, 2016) BREATHING EASY, EVEN WHEN IT’S HARD. Our Town host Maryanne McNellis interviews Hilary Metzger, who runs the Pulmonary Rehab program at Jefferson Health Care. Back in the day, Hilary and her husband fled civilization and were blissfully homesteading in Alaska. Then the diaper duty for two babies prompted a decision to return civilization – or the Port Townsend version of civilization. Hilary is now in charge of an innovative Pulmonary Rehab program which is helping hundreds of Jefferson County residents use their lung capacity fully and live longer.

Barney Burke hiatus 2016
Barney Burke has been hosting the Friday Night Blues since KPTZ’s first broadcast in 2011.
But after 290 broadcasts, he’s taking a sabbatical until 11 November 2016 because he’s running for re-election to our local public utility, Jefferson PUD. “It’s a good rule for radio and a good rule for elections,” Barney said of FCC regulations on broadcasters who run for public office.
As you can see in this photo, Barney is a fan of Howlin’ Wolf, but he plays all kinds of blues from Delta to Chicago and acoustic to electric, and yes, eclectic. He welcomes feedback and suggestions at [email protected].
