If we don't live in that area, is there another way to hear the series? Does the radio station have a website that offers streaming? Or could we purchase audiotapes of the series. I am very interested in hearing this.

>Dear Friends-
>
> A quick note for those in the SF Bay Area that The Independent
>Eye's 13-week radio series, WEAVERS, will be broadcast on KPFA (94.1 FM,
>throughout the greater Bay Area), starting Friday, August 3, 3 to 3:30 pm,
>and at the same time for the 12 weeks thereafter.
>
> WEAVERS is a series of audio portraits of people who in some way
>"weave" multiple worlds together. A Chinese immigrant builds a community
>center in an African-American neighborhood. A biology Ph.D. devotes his
>life to documentation of poverty and homelessness. A woman's business
>career is sidetracked as she's captured by her late mother's dream of a
>neighborhood arts center. A restaurant owner reaches out across oceans,
>inspired by her experience as a Vista volunteer in an Eskimo village.
>
> In other interviews, a jazz d.j. describes growing up within a
>family of schizophrenics. An internationally renowned city planner speaks
>of his ignominious firing from his first job and his struggles in
>transforming the face of a city. A woman remembers her childhood in the
>only Irish family in an otherwise all-Black Detroit housing project.
>
> The series includes artists, community organizers, a former welfare
>mother who now owns a multi-million dollar business, the founder of a
>church based on a science fiction novel, politicians, social activists -
>many races, many classes, many callings. There's no "name" host, and the
>people aren't plugging their new movie, book, or discussing their major
>crimes. Just people who work day to day - without fanfare but with great
>persistence - and make an impact. It offers vivid, engaging, inspiring
>portraits of people you'll enjoy meeting.
>
> If you know the Eye's theatrical work, well, this is documentary,
>not fiction, but we bring to it the same love for people and a dramatic
>sense of character. Of course, the people, being real, are a bit stranger
>than fiction.
>
> WEAVERS was produced in Philadelphia; this is its first West Coast
>airing. If you like it, call KPFA and share your response. We're now in
>the planning stage for a new series, and really hope WEAVERS lays the
>groundwork for it. So please forward this message to any friends you think
>might enjoy it.
>
>Peace & joy-
