The Klamath River flows some 268 miles from inland Southern Oregon to coastal Northern California before emptying into the Pacific, crossing high deserts, mountain ranges, and forests. The Klamath watershed is also the ancestral homeland of the Yurok, Hupa, Karuk, Shasta and Klamath tribes. And it's an area prime for recreation, especially in the summer months. And the Klamath River is once again free flowing after being held back by four dams for the better part of a century.

When Jason was in his mid-20s, he was stuck. He numbed out with porn much of the time, had never had sex, and struggled with dating and love relationship.Even outside of dating, it felt like something was missing in his life ... like he just wasn't completely alive. He knew he wanted something different, but didn't know how to get there.Then he attended one of his first personal growth events -- a men's workshop. When the attention was place on him, within twenty minutes a mentor had him on the floor (in a good way).He got to a place during that workshop that he hadn't gotten to in three full years of talk therapy. It was transformative, uplifting, and revolutionary to his nervous system. He released energy that had been stuck within him for decades. In a way, it set him up for the life he actually wanted to lead.If you've ever wanted MORE, you're not alone. You don't have to stay stuck.

Having made a connection while working the Hot Dog Sunday parties in LA together, Adam invited Judas to share his origin story of growing up in Northern California with an adoptive Mormon family, and the bumpy road that lead to his unique place in the queer zeitgeist.

Tony Wright joins Ed Opperman to talk about the facts and the fictions behind the now legendary case of the Yuba County Five.He's the author of two comic books and a graphic novel with Source Point Press. Tony is an archivist, father, husband, and a lost soul of rock and roll. When he is not writing, he is spending time with his family or enjoying a good meal. Tony has been featured as a Yuba County Five case expert on the Mopac Audio podcast Yuba County Five and was also featured as a case expert on the Motor Trend TV show Auto/Biography: Cold Case.The book explores the bizarre and tragic 1978 disappearance of Ted Weiher, Jack Madruga, Bill Sterling, Jackie Huett, and Gary Mathias in the Plumas National Forest in Northern California. Four of these men had intellectual disabilities while one was diagnosed with schizophrenia. On Friday, February 24, 1978, they left the Yuba County, California area in Madruga's 1969 Mercury Montego to attend a basketball game in Chico, California. Four days later the car they were traveling in was found abandoned on a snow-covered road in the mountains of the Plumas National Forest, some 75 miles in the wrong direction from home.Four jurisdictions of law enforcement would investigate and search for the missing men. Psychics were brought in, and there were strange reports of sightings of the five from numerous people. One witness came forward with an incredible story of seeing the men disappear into the forest that night. Yet every lead came to a dead end. About four months after they vanished, four of the five men's remains were found some 12 miles from the car, with one discovered in a US Forest Service trailer with plenty of food and fuel to keep them alive for months.Once described as ‘Bizarre as hell', the case of the Yuba County Five has baffled law enforcement and the families of the missing men for over 45 years. Tony Wright has meticulously researched this case, earning himself the reputation of being one of the foremost authorities on the subject, and his conclusions are likely as close as anyone will come to making sense of this tragedy.Book https://amzn.to/4niUiIkYou can see a virtual presentation at the Houston Public Library about the Yuba County Five case on Saturday, June 28th from 2pm until 3pm CST.

The Trump Administration has targeted Southern California for its harshest crackdown on immigrants. For the past few weeks, federal agents have raided restaurant kitchens and Home Depot parking lots and roughed up U.S. citizens, sparking anger and protests across the country. In Northern California, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have arrested immigrants who show up for immigration court hearings. We'll talk about how the administration has so far carried out its plans to deport millions of people and whether our region might experience the kind of widespread raids that have been conducted in Southern California. Guests: Tyche Hendricks, senior editor covering immigration, KQED Jean Guerrero, journalist and contributing writer, New York Times Opinion - she is author of "Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda" and "Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir" Catherine Seitz, legal director, Immigration Institute of the Bay Area Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to Together at the Top, where Nick is thrilled to have Elliott Dutro, Vice President at the Northern California based BEVL Group, join him for a highly impactful conversation here today. This episode isn't just about money, though financial well being is front and center. It's a deep exploration of how finding the right financial advisor, someone with mentor-like qualities, can shape not just your portfolio but your entire life. They discuss the journey into the financial world, the critical nature of trust in an advisor-client relationship, and what truly underpins a successful life and career - important stuff. The conversation unpacks the idea that a financial professional is much more than a "stock jockey," they're a personal board chairperson, guiding through life's financial complexities with wisdom gathered from countless client experiences. Elliott shares his unexpected path to becoming a financial advisor, from an inspiring high school algebra class to understanding the human side of financial decisions during the mortgage crisis. They touch on identifying the right career path, the power of good relationships, and the often unseen traits, like impulse control, that lead to lasting success, as well as how understanding all aspects of a client's life, not just their assets, is absolutely fundamental. Episode Highlights: The immense value of a trusted financial advisor as a guide for life's financial journey. Elliott Dutro's personal story of finding his passion in finance and helping people achieve their goals. Building profound trust: a cornerstone for any successful advisor client dynamic and how it's earned. Beyond asset management: why a holistic understanding of a client's life is crucial for top tier financial advice. Identifying "right fit" careers and how being in one dramatically impacts personal fulfillment and success. Key traits of successful individuals, including a sense of purpose, feeling "behind," and strong impulse control. The impact of mentors, both positive and negative, especially those found in unexpected places, like clients. Navigating challenges like work life balance and the importance of a strong personal foundation to avoid burnout. Key Takeaways: "Your financial advisor is the chairperson of your personal board of directors." "Setting people up in the right career is a really critical part of establishing that foundation for a great life." The quality of my advice is limited by my knowledge of the client's entire situation." "There's nothing more critical to an advisor-client relationship than having that trust because sometimes the advice that's given is counterintuitive." "Relationship management, basic financial management, and career selection. When you have those things put together... That's eighty percent of success." "I think if I had to identify one thing that held people back from reaching their full potential, it would be a lack of openness and vulnerability with themselves and with others." "It's so important to build a good personal life so that your professional life doesn't become a default escape from your personal life." "A great firm cannot make up for a subpar advisor."

AgNet News Hour: A Life in Rice—Gary Dodd Shares Passion, Hard Lessons, and Legacy in Agriculture In today's AgNet News Hour, host Nick “The Ag Meter” Papagni and co-host Josh McGill bring listeners an emotional, deeply personal conversation with one of California agriculture's most respected voices—Gary Dodd, the 2024 Rice Consultant of the Year, honored by Corteva Agriscience. Gary's story is one of persistence, faith, and a lifelong devotion to helping farmers succeed. From his early days scouting rice fields in Northern California to mentoring the next generation of PCAs, Gary's career has spanned over 50 years in agriculture—most of it focused on California's $2 billion rice industry. What makes this episode truly stand out is Gary's raw and honest storytelling. He reflects on growing up with no ties to ag, taking a chance on a job in the field, and discovering his passion for insects and plant health. His journey is filled with trial, error, and ultimately triumph, as he built trusted relationships with growers, earned their respect, and helped shape the future of rice production in the state. The episode dives into key industry issues, including rising production costs, the challenge of maintaining quality amid market competition, and the critical role of ag consultants in managing pest resistance and navigating regulatory complexity. Gary also touches on water challenges, the shift toward generics in ag chemicals, and the need for hands-on experience in a field too often misunderstood by outsiders. But beyond agronomy, Gary's message is about relationships—between growers and consultants, between mentors and young professionals, and above all, within families. His passion for farming, integrity in business, and love for his family resonate throughout the interview. If you're looking for a story that reaffirms why agriculture matters—and why people like Gary Dodd are the backbone of the industry—don't miss today's episode.

This interview is with Beatrice Barrar of RAM Cellars. In this interview, Beatrice talks about falling in love with the mystic and magic of fermentation and all things wine. Beatrice shares about her time growing up on a farm in Northern California and the impact this experience had on her.

She also shares some of her hopes and plans for the future. This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Hip Chicks do WIne in Portland on June 6, 2025.

Coming from San Francisco's Hunters Point neighborhood, Guce has been a factor in Bay Area rap since the 90s. Before getting into rap, he developed street ties throughout Northern California. His first project was a group, Straight Lace Mob, followed by his own impressive solo career as well as collaboration brand Bullys Wit Fullys. His discography reads like a history of Bay Area rap itself, having worked with Messy Marv, Mac Dre, Jacka, Killa Tay, J. Stalin, and Philthy Rich. Through his label Git Paid Entertainment, he helped launch the careers of artists like Mob Figaz, Larry June, and Mozzy. After fighting an attempted murder case and being wrongfully convicted, he won an appeal and was released after almost 7 years in prison.--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Intro02:22 Growing up in San Francisco09:10 Getting into the streets12:29 Moving to Sacramento16:31 Bloods & Crips23:28 Starting to rap32:11 Straight Lace Mob, Shadow & Woodie39:07 Pure Pressure49:20 If It Ain't Real It Ain't Official58:05 Bullys Wit Fullys1:06:47 Mob Figaz1:12:28 Killa Tay & Agerman1:14:20 Messy Marv1:37:01 The Jacka, Mac Dre1:42:33 J.

Creativity through the lens of coach, accessibility consultant, speaker and CEO of Real Life Access"Creativity for me is a lot about creative problem solving."Angela Fowler is a popular coach, consultant and speaker who shows organizations how to increase their bottom line by leveraging the power of accessibility to tap into the $2.1 trillion buying power of people with disabilities. As a business woman who is also totally blind, she has a unique insight into what it takes for regular every-day businesses to tap into a market which they may not fully understand or readily think is available to them. With humor and straight talk tempered with patience, she shows organizations how to make the necessary adjustments, often with a lot less effort than they think. Angela's courses offer common-sense, cost effective solutions to help businesses make their products and services accessible to people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone. Her philosophy is that most people want to do the right thing, they just don't know what the right thing is.Angela runs her coaching and consulting business from her home in Northern California, which she shares with her 18-year-old son, whose life seems to barely include her, her feisty kitten, who very clearly prefers her son, and her loving dog of indeterminate breed who thinks she's God's gift to doggie-kind and cannot get enough of her company. When she's not working, she enjoys true crime, sports, and cooking the best tri-tip on God's planet low and slow on the barbecue.https://reallifeaccess.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556611791429https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4AXBAaXRGGLGtieVFTOrrwhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/real-life-access/Send us a text

While the average rock fan may not know the name Nicky Hopkins, the average rock legend knows the name very well and most likely worked with him at some point. A classically trained pianist, Nicky Hopkins would go onto play with the greatest rock bands of all time - The Beatles, The Rollings Stones, The Who, The Kinks - and that was just the 1960s!! Finally, Nicky has been chosen for induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame! Though he did have some solo releases, Nicky found himself most at home in the studio working with other artists and helping to create some of the most iconic songs of all time. The eerie beginning to The Stones Monkey Man? That was Nicky. The whirling magic in She's A Rainbow? Nicky again. He ended up playing on over 250 albums and more than 1,000 songs, some of which were the greatest of all time. The Session Man is a documentary about his life and career growing up in the midlands, working his way to London, working with icons and then moving to America. This examination of the soft-spoken Hopkins illustrates his health battles throughout his life which would conspire to keep him off the road for much of his career and how he eventually found a home with other musicians in Northern California and eventually Nashville. Nicky Hopkins is an unsung hero of rock n roll and we're proud to shed a little light on the man and his amazing talent.

She is also the founder of Vera Jean Music, a pioneering record label dedicated to championing the talents of women artists over the age of 40.Raised in Northern California, Scarr's musical journey began in church, eventually leading her to Berklee College of Music.

"72 juveniles is 28% of the current population of sunflower stars under human care in California. More than a quarter of them are at our facility. If you had asked us that question about a year and a half ago. The answer would be zero at our facility, and the answer across California would be six total." - Andrew Lee In 2013, one of the largest marine disease outbreaks on record, sea star wasting syndrome swept through echinoderm populations, laying waste to sunflower stars across their historic range. Once common in California, sunflower stars are now functionally extinct there. This devastating population crash is one of the leading drivers of the 96% decline in kelp forest cover in Northern California in the last decade, as sunflower stars are no longer prowling rocky reefs and scaring purple urchins, who graze on kelp.   Sunflower Star Laboratory was founded by a group of concerned citizens who watched California's kelp disappear before their eyes and were inspired to take action.   This conversation is with Reuven Banks and Andrew Lee from Sunflower Star Laboratory, where they are actively growing sunflower stars with the aim to bring the stars and the kelp forests back to the ocean.

Bill and Leigh Keith had an extraordinary childhood, travelling the country in a school bus with their parents and ten siblings. Along the way, their dad fed them a homemade concoction of peanut butter, honey and supplements rolled into bite-sized snacks. When the family fell on hard times, the older siblings decided to sell their home and bet everything on turning their family recipe into a refrigerated energy bar. The family hand-rolled millions of bars and gave out samples at festivals and grocery stores in Northern California. They eventually got Perfect Bars into Whole Foods, Costco, and major retailers throughout the country, and in 2019, the company was acquired by Mondelēz International. This episode was researched and produced by Chris Maccini with music by Ramtin Arablouei. Edited by Neva Grant. Our engineers were Kwesi Lee and Ko Takasugi-Czernowin.
