Tonight’s Full Circle, Hosted by Sentient Shiloh b, AKA DJ Loh includes excerpts from a conversation they had with the artist collective WEDAPEPO , and five core members: Irene Carvajal, Oscar Lopez, Nivedita Madigubba, Michael Martinez and Jusun Seo.

WEDAPEPO is a collaborative project started with seven trans-national artists; Irene Carvajal, Oscar Lopez, Nivedita Madigubba, Michael Martinez, Zhang Mengjiao, Jusun Seo and Vivian Vivas. We named our project after an anthology of essays on cultural identity by Jose Antonio Burciaga. Our discussion began with the question, “What space do I occupy in America?” Mainstream media often answers a question with manufactured labels, propaganda structures, and fragmented histories. WEDAPEPO emerges from the re-examination of our identities and roles within this rhetoric and we continue to question societal constructs, cultural myths, and weaponized institutions that continue marginalizing specific demographics in society.

(ICYMI) Here’s the Replay. Tonight’s Full Circle, Hosted by sentient shiloh b, AKA DJ Loh is part one of Rona Reflections, which includes six different queer voices: Phillip L. Hammack a sociologist, Jessica Tracy a psychotherapist, Victoria Heilweil a feminist artist, a cultural producer, Victorian Montaño an Indigi Queer interdisciplinary artist, and Nicole Gervacio a social justice media maker and dancer reflecting on queer resilience, revalations, and revolution. As well as what we need to bring forward into 2022. This queering of time and space provided by Ms. Rona and her cousins is nowhere near over (which will only occur once the entire world is vaccinated) and we must evolve.
COVID 19 instituted a global pause which led many to reexamine, rethink, and redefine relationships in most if not all aspects of living. And what the world needs is healing and transformation. If we reflect, remember and redefine what is possible based on socially just priorities we will shift and transform culture into a more democratic and inclusive society. We must remember these insights and use them to redesign social structures and systems emanating from a foundation of repair and care.

(ICYMI) Here's the Replay. Tonight's Full Circle, Hosted by Sentient Shiloh B, AKA DJ Loh is a soundtrack/mixtape inspired by and created from the main ideas in Bell Hooks' All About Love: New Visions Published In 2000. It is one of my favorite books of all time and was written by recently transitioned writer, scholar, thinker and cultural activist Bell Hooks. Rest in Power. And is the first book in her trilogy on love. All About Love: New Visions. The lyrics in each of the songs I play tonight revolve around love as a verb and ask the question what would society and our relationships actually look like, sound like and be if we lived according to love? - If we designed systems from a foundation of love and behaved as if we cared more for people and health than property and greed –what Bell Hooks calls a “love ethic”, the world would look very different.

Tonight is a music show! A soundtrack of my life - if you will. I put together a collage of music from a variety of talented artists like Jill Scott and Lauryn Hill to Blue October, Deana Carter and Bobby Darin. My music catalog is a little eclectic and initially it was difficult narrowing down selections for tonight’s show - because I wanted to include every song that I ever connected with. But last night I finally brought out the chopping block and was wielding the axe with precision - because time was not on my side. Hopefully some of your favs made the cut or maybe you’ll hear a song that you haven’t heard in a while, or perhaps you’ll be introduced to something new...either way - hope you enjoy! stay tuned…...

On tonight's show, a circle of guests from the Buen Vivir Fund join host Cat Petru to shed light on our economic status quo through a rather unusual and specific lens: impact investing. What is impact investing? For those who aren't familiar, our guests break it down - and challenge it in the mainstream. For those familiar, and particularly those in radical movements, you might be wondering: "Why do a show about impact investing? Accumulated wealth has a fraught and super problematic legacy." The thing is, the Buen Vivir Fund knows this. And rather than perpetuate investment models that privilege investors, they're challenging the paradigm. The Buen Vivir Fund is comprised of a web of relationships & partnerships where "risk" cannot be defined in terms of individual capital gain or loss.
Buen Vivir means right living. So, at a time when global crises are reaching tipping points, what is right living? What are our greatest risks? And how can we diligently & thoughtfully work together to meet them?
Tonight, we’ve got the Molotov Mouths joining us live in studio. They’re a group of poetic firespitters, based in the Bay Area, united by a single goal: Justice.

With their 15-year reunion coming up, the Molotov Mouths join us for a night of poetry and conversation.
Keep it locked right here on KPFA...

Is money truly the root of all evil? Or is there something that we, collectively, haven’t quite looked at yet? Is there a way to look at money in a positive light?

On tonight’s show: ... We’ll explore the history of the value that we place on paper currency ... We’ll contemplate the role of money in our lives and how far it’s influence reaches ... We’ll examine other possibilities of how we can view money

When Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade’s suicides made headlines, we got to wondering …
Given the extreme violence of our political climate, our mental health is of tremendous importance …
But - what does it mean to be mentally, emotionally healthy? Why, in fact, are we made to think our mental, emotional, and physical health are separate? Whose idea was that? What are the cultural roots of "suicide"? And how is suicide understood differently across cultures?
On tonight’s show:
We are joined by three guests, all healing practitioners and mental health providers -- Shauna Janz, Pinar Atesh Sinopoulos-Lloyd, and Bre Williams.
They join us to analyze our national conversation about suicide.

(Women’s International Conspiracy from Hell!).
