Now, it is a bit more official. I have an appointment at 11:00 tomorrow morning, Tuesday, January 13, for the first episode of the KPCR Garden Report. I do not yet know if it will merely be recorded for later broadcast, or if it will be broadcast directly, but I suspect that it will be broadcast directly. More information about the KPCR Garden Report is cited by the recycled article below:
November 5, 2025 – Nothing is official yet. I am hopeful, though. I am currently in training to establish a new Garden Report on Pirate Cat Radio KPCR-LP 92.9 FM in Los Gatos, KMRT-LP 101.9 FM in Santa Cruz, KVBE-LP 91.1 in Portland, and online at KPCR.org. For me, it is daunting. However, those training me are confident of my ability. I have no problem talking about horticulture for an hour. My difficulty is operating the necessary electronics. It is not much, and actually looks quite simple. I am just not comfortable with it. I am intent on doing what I must, though. I miss my former Garden Report gardening shows on KSCO 1080 AM in Santa Cruz and KBCZ 89.3 FM in Boulder Creek. Ultimately, I would like to post recordings of the new Garden Report here on the blog, or at least post links to such recordings. I am told that is not difficult to do, if I record the shows, which is apparently standard procedure. I still need to find “intro” music for the beginning and end of each show, but I believe that I have a source for that. Goodness, although I know this should be easy, I am nervous!
Good luck! please post a link. I would love to hear your voice!

I will post a link as soon as I get one. Supposedly, I can post the broadcasts directly to my blog, but I think that is the same as posting a link. You might be able to hear it at eleven tomorrow on KPCR.org. (I do not know if it will be broadcast at that time, though.)

Oh, I will, even if rather (very) tense. It has been a while since I have done this.

What a great opportunity! I’m looking forward to following along. I have a certain aversion to/anxiety about all things techie myself, but I’m sure you’ll do fine. I had to laugh. The primary Houston AM news station is KPRC; at first read, I mixed up your station letters and thought you were coming to Houston! (We could use you.)

It may take a while before I post links on my blog, although it would be easy to follow at KPCR.org. I will write about changes to its schedule once we determine what time and days it will broadcast. (I do not know if it will continue to be on Tuesdays at eleven.)
