Joy Gilfilen speaks about the evolution of the iChange Justice Podcast — how a lifetime of unexpected experiences shaped her understanding of law, leadership, and community transformation.For nearly five years, Joy has hosted the iChange Justice Podcast as a thought-leadership platform exploring how restorative justice, regenerative economics, and community empowerment intersect to build a more humane society. What began as a local conversation about jail reform and reentry in Whatcom County has grown into a wide-ranging inquiry into how justice, governance, and the economy intertwine across generations and cultures.From her early life on a ranch in Eastern Washington to working inside the legislature, law enforcement, and business development, Joy shares how firsthand experiences revealed the patterns that shape modern systems. Whether in government, science, or economics, she found that systems rewarding control and extraction often undermine the life they depend on.Those insights led to her work documenting jail trauma and advocating for prevention-based justice. Through over 200 episodes, the iChange Justice Podcast has become a public forum for transformation — amplifying voices from inmates, sheriffs, elders, educators, reformers, and innovators alike.As Joy explains, “The future of public safety isn't about control — it's about prevention, education, and rebuilding civic resilience.” The podcast invites listeners to rediscover authentic intelligence — the human capacity for empathy, ethics, and courage that no algorithm can replicate.Each episode offers a piece of that larger mosaic — from Paul Levy's Wetiko Mindset (Episode 165) to Patricia Anne Davis' Indigenous wisdom (Episode 124), Don Kirchner's justice reform (Episode 118), and Marc Santos on regenerative economics (Episode 78). Together they form an archive of social courage and civic learning.In this solo reflection, Joy connects the dots — from ranch life to policy, from justice to regeneration — to ask a question at the heart of it all:How does it work? And how can we make it work better for everyone?

On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel digs into the archives for his 2017 conversation with Western Washington University Professor Emeritus (and geologist and author) Don Easterbrook. Easterbrook and his late colleague David Rahm studied Mount Baker - just minutes away via air from Bellingham - during the Whatcom County peak's period of increased volcanic activity in 1975 - five years before Mount St. Helens blew its top. Easterbrook authored a book in 2016 called "Mount Baker Eruptions and Glaciations." He and Rahm are also co-authors of the essential 1970 text, "Landforms of Washington." For aerial images of Mount Baker shot by Easterbrook in 1975 while Rahm was flying their small plane, visit the Cascade of History Facebook page: www.facebook.com/share/p/1G4GXreyVA/ Professor Easterbrook's page at WWU: https://geology.wwu.edu/people/dbunny CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org.

In March 2000, 23-year-old Leah Roberts packed her Jeep Cherokee, grabbed her cat—and vanished.  Not without a trace, but into the vast, mist-covered wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Inspired by Jack Kerouac, Leah set off from North Carolina on a soul-searching road trip, leaving behind a trail of personal tragedy: the sudden death of both parents and a near-fatal car crash. She carried $3,000 in cash and no clear destination—just a sense that something was waiting for her out west. Days later, her Jeep was found wrecked at the bottom of a remote embankment near Bellingham, Washington.  Inside: her clothes, blankets, an engagement ring tucked under the floor mat.  Outside: no Leah. No blood. No footprints. No sign of struggle. But then came the troubling clues—tampered wires, male DNA, an unidentifiable fingerprint.  Accident? Escape? Or something darker hidden in the shadows of the Cascades? Listen as we dive into Washington, the case of Leah Roberts, and how to stay alive on vacation. Do you have a story to share?

Tucked between the rugged North Cascades and the sparkling Salish Sea, Bellingham, Washington is a must-visit Pacific Northwest destination that offers a stunning mix of mountains, forests, and coastal beauty. Just 90 miles north of Seattle and 20 miles south of the Canadian border, Bellingham is ideally located in Whatcom County with easy access to the San Juan Islands, Mount Baker, and the scenic Chuckanut Mountains. Outdoor enthusiasts will find a paradise of glacial lakes, temperate rainforests, dramatic coastal bluffs, and endless hiking and biking trails. Overlooking Bellingham Bay with views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains, the city blends natural splendor with deep cultural roots. Originally home to the Coast Salish peoples, including the Lummi and Nooksack tribes, Bellingham's history spans coal mining, timber, and maritime trade. The city was officially formed in 1903 when the towns of Whatcom, Sehome, Bellingham, and Fairhaven merged. Today, historic Fairhaven, with its red-brick architecture, lively waterfront, and artsy vibe, anchors a city that's grown into a vibrant college town and cultural hub. In this podcast episode, we explore why Bellingham is the perfect RV road trip stop, packed with natural beauty, rich history, and unforgettable experiences.Send us a textPlease follow the show so you never miss an episode.
