Join Village Books for an extra special evening of music, stories, and fun to kick off 2025's Chuckanut Writers Conference with the amazing Rena Priest, Robert Lashley, and Kevin Murphy at the Hotel Leo!
The Chuckanut Radio Hour, a recipient of Bellingham's prestigious Mayor's Arts Award, is a radio variety show that began in January 2007. Each Chuckanut Radio Hour includes guest authors, musicians, performance poet Kevin Murphy, and episodes of "As the Ham Turns" serial radio comedy performed by the Chuckanut Radio Players Les Campbell, Tonja Meyers, Sarah Hawley, and Robert Muzzy (plus the occasional guest!). Not to mention groaner jokes by hosts Paul Hanson, Kelly Evert, and announcer Rich Donnelly.
The Chuckanut Radio Hour's first guest was Erik Larson and has since included, Tom Robbins, Maria Semple, Christopher McDougall, Erica Bauermeister, and Garrison Keillor, among many others. The Radio Hour airs Sundays at 7pm on Community Powered KMRE at 88.3FM and kmre.org.
