Considerations From 75 River / Tannery Grand Open | By J.D. Hillard In today’s program, Santa Cruz’s live-work facility for artists has grown, Rick Kleffel will speak with former Talk of the Bay host, now Tannery Arts Center executive director Rachel Anne Goodman and others. First, last autumn in the weeks before Occupy Santa Cruz was evicted from the soccer field near Santa Cruz County’s court house, several participants entered a vacant bank building in downtown Santa Cruz. It was during a march. Protesters said they wanted to establish a community center. They were in the building a few days. After they left police found graffiti and other property damage. Some of the protesters were charged with felony vandalism trespassing and conspiracy. We’ll talk with an occupy participant and a prosecutor. | 24 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

A Life Conjoined/ Otter the Indicator | Chang and Eng Bunker were conjoined twins who presented themselves in freak shows in the mid 19th century. UCSC Theater Arts performs the play inspired by their lives, I Dream of Chang and Eng, from May 25, through June 3. The leading actors and director spoke to KUSP’s Rick Kleffel. Also on this program, otters nearly went extinct on the California coast. The fur trade of the 19th century eliminated nine tenths of the original population. Since a few dozen were discovered near Big Sur in the 30's their numbers grew to about 24 hundred in the last decade, but have declined since. Otter 501 is a new film illustrating their tenuous recovery and the role this animal plays in the relationship between humans and the ocean. The film makers spoke with KUSP’s Kelly O’Brien. http://youtu.be/H4QxVOz_66M | 18 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |
