Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

On this episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, Bec delivers the “In the News” with a story that proves fashion doesn’t always take itself too seriously. Enter the unexpected collaboration between BEIS and Chipotle: an eleven-piece luggage and accessories collection designed, apparently, to transport Chipotle to any destination effortlessly and chicly. From a napkin sling to a burrito-inspired crossbody and a full duffle bag, the team breaks down the buzz, the branding, and the growing appetite for playful fashion collaborations. From there, the conversation shifts to one of the most requested topics of the season: dressing for holiday gatherings. The stylists unpack what to wear for everything from ugly sweater invites and neighborhood get-togethers to office parties and more polished celebrations. Comfort is key, especially when non-breathable fabrics and long evenings are involved, but style doesn’t have to be sacrificed. The team shares what they’re seeing in stores right now, including plenty of sequins, cashmere, and velvet in every form. It’s a practical, timely guide to navigating holiday dressing with confidence, comfort, and just the right amount of festive flair.

This episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team opens with Bec’s “In the News” segment, spotlighting Burberry’s latest marketing campaign, and its refreshingly relatable message: luxury lives in every moment. Featuring iconic British stars like Olivia Colman stepping into very ordinary roles, including working behind the counter at a classic fish and chips shop, the campaign reminds us that beautiful things are meant to be worn, used, and enjoyed, not saved for someday. Inspired by that philosophy, the conversation turns to stylish and thoughtful holiday gift ideas that strike the perfect balance between indulgence and practicality. From cozy indoor footwear and elegant gloves to sumptuous cashmere and chic travel accessories from Longchamp, the team shares pieces that feel special without feeling precious. These are gifts designed to elevate everyday life and actually get used. As always, the episode blends style insight with real-world wearability, offering a timely reminder that great style isn’t about waiting for the right moment, it’s about making the moment right.

On this edition of Shmooze Radio (originally aired 12/23/09) Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky brings you his message on Parshat Vayigash.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Mothers Justice Show, guest host Chukundi Salisbury Sr. sits down in studio with his brother, journalist and media founder Omari “Big O” Salisbury, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves seamlessly between legacy, accountability, and the urgent need for truth in public storytelling. The discussion traces the launch of The Big O Show and its place within the Converge Media ecosystem—but quickly turns to the unresolved trauma of the 2020 Seattle protests and the devastating case of Antonio Mays Jr., the 16-year-old who was killed in the CHOP. Omari recounts, in detail, his recent court testimony and the shocking revelation that he unknowingly captured Antonio on video days before his death—footage that challenges the City of Seattle’s long-standing narrative and raises profound questions about justice, memory, and whose voices are allowed to be heard. This episode is not performative, and it is not sanitized. It is a raw, principled conversation about grief, integrity, media responsibility, and what it means to stand on truth even when it comes at a cost. Grounded in family, community, and lived experience, this is an essential listen for anyone who wants to understand the real human stakes behind headlines, protests, and policy. Listen in full to hear the stories that were nearly erased—and why telling them still matters.

Jump into Talk Cosmos: "SOLSTICE – WINTER’S NEW VIBRATIONS" An insightful discussion on the Winter Solstice and the primary consciousness patterns resonating during the coming season. We'll use cutting-edge Vibrational Astrology (VA) techniques to unravel the messages of the Winter Solstice. This deep journey will reveal the predominant behavior patterns shaping our collective consciousness from December 21st through the New Year of 2026 and the subsequent three months. What is the Solstice? SOLSTICE literally means the ‘SUN STOPS.’ The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21st at 3:04 p.m. GMT (or 10:04 a.m. EST & 7:04 a.m. PST). This is the precise moment the Sun reaches the Tropic of Capricorn below the equator, marking its entry at zero-degree (0°) Capricorn. In the Northern Hemisphere, this moment signifies the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The Seed Chart: The Solstice chart is a powerful seed chart, unveiling profound themes that will resonate throughout the entire winter season. Since antiquity, the Solstice has been a profoundly spiritual connection to the Sun, Moon, and all of nature’s cycles. Through the unique lens of Vibrational Astrology, we will explore the intricate core patterns that shape our collective journey during this season—a time of deep gratitude for the light's return.

From day one of COVID, guest James Lyons-Weiler, Phd, has been saying that using PCR tests "as the primary driver of pandemic policy would guarantee a tidal wave of false positives, distort epidemiology, and weaponize diagnostic noise as public fear."

Mystics: The Middle East & The Pursuit of Happiness-Chapter Two

Episode 102: From ‘Should’ to ‘Want’: Creating Your Own Holiday Season The holidays can easily become a season of autopilot — traditions we never question, expectations we silently carry, and routines that leave little room for what we actually want. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore the power of setting clear intentions — and actually following through on them — especially during a time when the world around us pulls hard in every direction. Drawing on insights from psychology, behavioral science, and nervous system research, they unpack why intention-setting works better than goal-setting, how to break out of holiday “shoulds,” and what it takes to make choices that protect our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through personal stories (including Ashley’s Thanksgiving unplugging), they offer practical tools to help listeners create a season — and a new year — that feels aligned and nourishing.

This week, host Chukundi Salisbury (filling in for Reverend Walden) sits down with his mentor, the influential Representative Dawn Mason, for a profound discussion on community leadership and activism. Rep. Mason, who recently received the "Key to the City," emphasizes that her civic honors represent the collective work of all those she supports. The episode focuses on the urgency of educational justice, with Mason detailing her work with the Rainier Valley Leadership Academy and her vision for ensuring every child is reading at grade level by third grade. A major highlight is the exciting news about a victory for Seattle's youth: the SPD's Mounted Patrol was disbanded, and its gear, including saddles, was transferred to the Buffalo Soldiers program at the Red Barn Ranch.

Today on Conscious Talk… There is so much going on in our world that strains our ability to stay loving or even calm. Let’s face it, we’re stressed. We’ll talk to transformational healer Dr. DiVanna VaDree about how to stay committed to love no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in.

We explore the “28° Sagittarius New Moon Searches Eternal Truth”. The 28°25’ Sagittarius New Moon cosmic energies peak on 19 December at 8:43 p.m. EST (Washington DC) and 4:43 p.m. UT (Greenwich, UK). This week we synthesize with the New Moon astrology, numerology, tarot, Jyotish Nakshatra, and Sabian Symbols—a mystical imagery set serving as a unique tool for personal exploration and astrological insight. This is a very thoughtful New Moon despite most all the planets now traveling direct except for a few still traveling in apparent retrograde motion. They are expansive Jupiter, the awakener Uranus, alchemist Chiron, and inclusive disrupter Eris. However, our thoughts rotate as Mercury, now totally out of its recent retrograde path, positions square to the Lunar Nodes. Often called the bendings, our focus turns to the south node in Virgo to figure what form of its archetype we personally need to release. Because Jupiter that rules this new moon makes efforts to adjust to what values really are at the core of understanding a renewed belief system that might include all of oneself as well as in recognition of others. A tall order unless we are willing to readjust our alliances with refocused values.

Mantz & Mitchell guest-host Matt Shea and producer Nathan Miller get into the holiday spirit for a special Christmas episode, guiding listeners through the "Whoville of the Pacific Northwest," highlighting must-see holiday light displays, like Tacoma's Zoo Lights and Woodland Park Zoo's Wild Lanterns, and other community events.

In this episode of The Glen Gilbert Connection, host Glen Gilbert sits down with Jordan, a retired Marine Corps major and financial advisor, to address the silent struggle many men face: the financial fallout of a broken relationship. They discuss how the end of a partnership often breaks not just the heart but the bank, leading to a crisis of identity and the haunting question, "Who am I now?". Jordan warns against common post-breakup pitfalls, such as impulsive "revenge spending" on sports cars, and emphasizes the importance of avoiding financial decisions that undercut long-term wealth building while emotions are still raw. Moving beyond survival mode, the discussion outlines a roadmap for turning financial devastation into a legacy of strength. Jordan champions the concept of "strategic vision"—finding a purpose that guides every financial decision—and stresses the necessity of personal accountability over victimhood. From the value of building a trusted support network to lessons on perseverance drawn from The Count of Monte Cristo, this conversation offers a blueprint for men to reclaim their power, rebuild their portfolios, and restore their sense of self-worth.

DAMTT: Two-Legged Lamps, Jaws, and Choosing Wit After missing a week due to sickness, Stacy and Eric are together again! Stacy is knee-deep in prepping her house for sale, which is making her way less enthused to decorate her house, while per tradition, Eric’s place is decorated, save for the tree which will go up eventually. Naturally this leads to a rabbit hole about real versus fake trees and holiday smells. Speaking of smells, Stacy had a sensory shopping experience that was doggone awful! Eric has some recent wins with both his deck and solar panels finally being done, just in time for the rain. As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy has been WAY too busy watching bad holidating movies to check anything off the list whereas Eric checked off every James Bond movie featuring Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. His take was the movies weren’t terribly smart, but they were very funny, a theme that ties perfectly into this episode’s topic of Smart vs. Funny. In the end Stacy and Eric agree that a smart person picks a funny one. DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email [email protected] Next Time: Is Water Wet?

Your creative expression is the gateway to your happiness, and yet many of us make very little time to do activities that enhance our creativity. For me, it's always been writing. I started as a girl and found great joy writing fiction and eventually memoir. I've been teaching writers for 30 years now (I can hardly believe it!) Over time, I've watched people find their flow, build their resilience, bust out of poor and unproductive habits ... and it all stemmed from the joy of being creatively expressive with their writing. Some went on to publish their books and monetize their brands. I'd love to invite you to my upcoming writing class for all levels: How to Write Your Book beginning January 6, 2025 Here are a few details about the course: — We will focus on crafting your story — We will meet for 12 weeks beginning January 6th — There will be at least 9 face-to-face meetings with me and the members of the class. (90 mins) — There will be supplemental materials to view and one book and one movie to accompany the course. — We will focus on memoir, but I will also teach you how to weave in self-development sections as well as spiritual reflection sections. — you will receive a course syllabus approximately one month before we begin. This course works best for the person who: — Wants to begin or complete a book — Wants to attend weekly classes. — Is willing to share tiny excerpts of their writing with class members (But not until the second half of the course) — Is willing to write for an average of one hour a day or 5+ hours a week.

How Not to Die & A Reason for Optimism

Episode 101: “Why Time With Our Elders Matters” We say we “should” spend more time with our aging parents and elders — but life gets busy, visits get delayed, and loneliness quietly grows. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore why time with seniors is far more than a nice gesture. It’s medicine: for their bodies and brains, for our own mental health, and for a culture that often sidelines older adults. Drawing on geriatric medicine, the psychology of aging, neuroscience, and social interaction research — plus wisdom from ancient traditions — they unpack how intergenerational connection protects against dementia, depression, and early mortality, while also deepening meaning, perspective, and resilience for younger generations.

We dig into the pivotal moments, the challenges that shaped them, and the drive that pushed them to step outside the box and do something different. These are people who are made of more.

We are thrilled to bring Jeff Evans back for some updates on this wonderful organization. Angels with Misplaced Wings is a home-based, non-profit sanctuary located in the Vancouver, Washington area. It was founded by Jeff Evans who was inspired by his childhood experience with animals. The name reflects a loving sentiment, as Jeff’s mother would refer to animals with flipped-back ears as “angels with misplaced wings”. This sanctuary focuses on caring for animals that are often overlooked due to their special needs or age, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment. Visit www.angelswithmisplacedwings.org to learn more, and also to find out about their current (December 2025) fundraiser—this is a creative and unique partnership where you’ll be able to provide kids with Lego sets AND help the sanctuary at the same time!

Planet Buzz’s episode "JUPITER SQUARE CHIRON Activation”. Globally questions emerge asking who belongs – what is the identity of a nation? Can we share our cultures and beliefs? Chiron’s story in mythology involves his mother’s rejection as an infant because he was half human and half horse. His father, Saturn, ignored him without acknowledgment. Totally abandoned, Apollo the Greek god of the Sun, light, music and prophecy adopted Chiron. Teaching Chiron the arts, science and the mysteries to overcome his beastly nature. Chiron’s primary wound of rejection became alchemized as a Master Healer who in turn taught gods, mortals and demigods. Our path of healing involves personal action. This aspect occurs about five hours before the Winter Solstice just prior to the Sun entering 0° Capricorn of authority and accountability.
