  Host Donna Walker welcomes Director Cihan Sahin to talk about The Actors Gang latest production of "The Adding Machine."

• Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show, Tuesday, March 3 at 2:00 pm, with very special guest THOM HARTMANN ("The Last President", "Thom Hartmann Show")

  Phil and Ted welcome author, radio personality, political progressive, Thom Hartmann for lively, urgent discussion on the state of the country and the world. In his latest book "The Last American President: A Broken Man, A Corrupt Party, and A World On The Brink," Hartmann addresses more than President Trump's past, but also America's future. As climate catastrophe accelerates and fascism spreads globally, Hartmann reveals the nightmare scenario: a second Trump term that doesn't just end American democracy but also triggers irreversible planetary damage. Through meticulous research and unflinching analysis, he shows how political cowardice and corporate greed created the perfect storm that could extinguish humanity's last chance at survival. Hartmann's book is available at kpfk.org as a fund drive 'thank you' gift with your pledge. Tune in and pledge!
