Caroline Casey is not a transsexual or transgender voice, though it may sound like it.

Caroline Casey of the "Visionary Activist Show" (rebroadcast on KPFK in Los Angeles after KPFA in Berkeley) talks to Starhawk about her permaculture design and ritual of renewal event in the Bay Area for Earth Day.

(Coyote Network News) The Visionary Activist Show is replayed 2:00-3:00 AM on KPFK 90.7 FM (where it's available to listen to free for 90 days at archive.kpfk.org under Roy of Hollywood Tuckman's Something's Happening Show).

KPFK.org is in fund drive mode again.

Somethings Happening airs Monday-Thursday, midnight to dawn.
