Free speech is a treasured right in the United States. Political campaigns, however, are very expensive. Highest-funded candidates typically win on Election Day; America's political-funding system benefits wealthy donors and corporations, while shutting out ordinary Americans. The Pacific Northwest has become an epicenter for campaign finance reform, with Seattle and Portland passing campaign finance reform limits. Will these limits even the playing field? Join host Jefferson Smith as he speaks with key individuals passing campaign finance reform, including Dan Meek, Jason Kafoury, Kristin Eberhard, Liz Dupee, Portland Commissioner Amanda Fritz, Juan Carlos, and Multnomah County Commissioner Shaon Meieran. -- "Democracy Nerd" is a podcast that asks the question "How do we ensure a more perfect union?"

This time we live in is a feast of audio storytelling. You can find a podcast for any interest, from Harry Potter to stories of death-defying survival, and it turns out Oregon is a hotbed of homemade shows. In fact, several enterprising producers have joined forces to host the first-ever Portland Podcast Festival on Dec. 2 at the Hawthorne Theater.We’re taking this as an opportunity to talk to them about their shows, and to spotlight some more of our favorites made in Oregon. On this week’s episode:Minority Retort - 1:30Jason Lamb’s morning drive drops as part of the XRAY-FM feed feature conversations that reflect what’s going on in communities of color — often featuring stand-up artists Lamb’s met hosting the monthly “Minority Retort” comedy showcase. Funemployment Radio - 5:31Greg Nibler and Sarah X Dylan have chops honed by years in the trenches of terrestrial radio. But when they turned their powers to podcasting, freed from the constraints of 3-5 minute breaks, their creativity found a fifth gear. Voted Portland’s Best Podcast in the Willamette Week's 2016 and 2017 Readers’ Polls, Funemployment Radio tackles all kinds of subjects, but shines brightest on the weird stuff.Roam Schooled - 13:58Musician, sound engineer, and producer Jim Brunberg is best known to music fans around Portland as the founder and co-owner of two iconic venues: Mississippi Studios and Revolution Hall. But this side project, undertaken with his twin 8-year-old daughters, is an audio odyssey. Brunberg and the girls hit the road and interview everyone from the governor of Oregon to gun shop owners and Big Foot experts, as they explore big (and sometimes silly) issues, like death, the Second Amendment, fear, memory, and more, under the guiding principle: “Let’s go find out.” While the touchstone from each episode are questions from the girls, this podcast is one for the grown-ups.Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men - 23:34In 2014, Jay Edidin and Miles Stokes launched a grand experiment to tease out one of the most confusing — and compelling — storylines in comics: the saga of the X-Men, a group of outsider superheroes, mostly hated and feared by humanity. Taking on all the storylines, duplicate backstories, and alternate universe complications in order was no small task, but they ultimately took an even thornier storyline to unravel in their own lives. We love the podcast for their ultra-brainy takes and intensive research on the publishing history and the sheer glee they derive from Marvel’s intricate superhero soap-opera.Outside Podcast - 35:47Gorgeous production values and edge-of-your-seat storytelling are the hallmarks of this podcast offshoot from "Outside Magazine." Whether telling harrowing survival stories (getting cast adrift at sea, getting struck by lightening, getting treed by a jaguar, oh my!), interviewing extreme athletes of all stripes, or wandering far and wide with stories of the natural world, Portland-based Robbie Carver and Peter Frick-Wright are laser-focused on bringing each episode home with a slam-dunk narrative clinch.
Episode #100: On October 25th, we celebrated our 100th episode with a live taping in Portland, OR.

Then, get insight from legendary musicians Corin Tucker, Peter Buck, Laura Veirs, and Cool Nutz. Special thanks to XRAY FM and Holocene.
Sometimes the most frustrating part of money is that building wealth is a marathon, not a sprint. We talk about the “hard middle” of working towards a big goal- where you’re making progress but it seems slow, and the end payoff seems far off. So we ask some people around the XRAY FM studio about how they worked on their goals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Too soon! Too soon! What are we doing here again, eulogizing one of our musical icons? And yet, there it was: Thursday's news about the death of Prince.This man meant so much to dancers, deviants and DJs.XRAY-FM radio host and DJ for Lifesavas Rev Shines started us down the path. He's scheduled to work at a Three Kings night next month, featuring the music of Prince alongside Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. He says it's going to be nuts.“It's making me do my homework,” Rev told us. “I grabbed everything I could find.”As Portland's Hollywood Theatre gears up for a Thursday showing of “Purple Rain,” and Voodoo Doughnuts cranks out a line of purple-frosted, raspberry-filled donuts in honor of the late, genre-busting genius, we went out to talk to two guys carrying the funk forward: Trumpet guru Farnell Newton and funk bandleader Tony Ozier. They joined forces two years ago as the record label FN Beats Galore. Their celebrated lineup, Othership Connection, had a big gig opening for George Clinton this month. And they join in the global remembrance of Prince.“It's a part of the lineage of the music that we play,” said Farnell.We chatted them up about what Prince meant to funk, and what's new with FN Beats. They're hatching plans for a festival of black music this fall — something they promise will showcase Portland's best. Take a listen.

Today on the show: creativity and geography. Salem Chamber Orchestra Files For BankruptcyLast month, the Salem Chamber Orchestra board announced the season would be cancelled because of financial difficulties. Now it has informed its musicians it will also file for bankruptcy.Frank Almond’s Famous StradivariusViolinist and concertmaster Frank Almond, the man behind the best-selling CD “A Violin’s Life,” will perform on Tuesday in Corvallis at Oregon State University and on Friday in Bend as part of the High Desert Chamber Music’s Spotlight Series.The real star of the show, though, is Almond’s famous, 300-year-old Lipinski Stradivarius. That Almond is playing it at all is a small miracle: a couple of winters ago, thieves tased him and ran off with the instrument, which is valued at $5 million to $6 million.Paige Powell’s Magnificent Ride Through New York CityWhen Portland native Paige Powell worked at “Interview” magazine in New York City in the 80s, she traveled in rarified circles.

And she documented it all with her camera.When Powell moved back to Oregon, she put all the photos and videos in boxes and didn’t look at them for years. Now she’s showing them for the first time in a multimedia installation at the Portland Art Museum called “The Ride.” She gave producer Aaron Scott a tour.Marc Acito’s Broadway Breakthrough, Starring George TakeiThe life of the “Star Trek” actor-turned-civil rights activist is inspiring a new musical on Broadway. “Allegiance” tells the story of George Takei and his family, who were sent to internment camps by the U.S. government during World War II. The New York “Observer” called “Allegiance” “fresh,” “original,” and “passionate.” And the play’s co-writer happens to be someone who worked in Portland for 20 years before returning to New York and Broadway: Marc Acito. We caught up with Acito between the play’s rehearsals.Liminal Wants To Offend You Liminal Performance Group has a reputation for brassy, experimental, tech-rich theater productions, so we were intrigued when they announced that they were going to re-vamp a seminal anti-theatre work called “Offending the Audience” for “a modern age of pan-surveillance and fractured media self-reflections.”What happens when you slap a pandemonium of surveillance and interactive technology, plus nude interpretive dances, onto the 50 year-old play by Peter Handke? For our ongoing series “What Are You Looking At,” we invited James Engberg and Eric Kilgore to see the show. You might know them from a theater podcast and XRAY-FM show they hosted called “5 Useless Degrees & A Bottle of Scotch.”“Offending the Audience" runs through Nov. 22 at Action/Adventure Theater.Amazon Goes Old School With Brick And MortarLast week, while we were whooping it up at Wordstock, book lovers in Seattle were treated to the latest high-tech, new-fangled idea in e-commerce, cooked up by Amazon: the opening of a store. With books.From Seattle’s KUOW, Kate Walters reports on the retail giant's first permanent brick and mortar retail shop in Seattle. Then we call up Knute Berger, a writer for the blog “Crosscut” and “Seattle Magazine,” who wrote about the opening.Jazz Composer Darrell Grant's Oregon Sojourn In 2012, pianist, composer and Portland State University professor Darrell Grant started work on a song cycle called “The Territory,” about his relationship with Oregon, its history, and its geography. “The Territory” premiered last January in New York, and it’s now being released on PJCE Records. Grant stopped by KMHD Jazz Radio this week to talk with Matt Fleeger about the genesis of the project in advance of a record release concert on Nov. 14 at the First Unitarian Church.
