SOUL PRODUCT @ 8

Saturday from 7 to 8, the Blues KRUUz takes you on a musical voyage away from mopery and indifference and to an altogether more involving (and entertaining) engagement with the world via the musical magic of seasoned mood-shifters like Junior Parker, Geno Delafose, Slim Harpo, Chuck Berry, Big Walter Horton and Boozoo Chavis.

Some sizzling zydeco, some earthy blues from the gritty, urban streets of Chicago, some acoustic guitar-tickling...hey, wait a minute! Dang, out of time again! Go ahead and tune in this week, but I'm already stuffing the leavings into next week's bag.

Writers' Voices with Monica and Caroline welcomes Iowans Diane Glass and Deb Engle, coauthors of "Tending Your Inner Garden: A notebook of personal transformation and renewal."

Tune in Friday September 6 at 1pm or Monday at 8am to hear about this program of spirituality and creativity just for women, based on the cycles of Nature as a model of change. "Tending Your Inner Garden" encourages women to use journaling, art and meditation to get in touch with their inner desires and find fulfillment.  read more »
