Because It's Time (With Special Guest Luke Burbank)

Thursday, April 26, 2012

RadioActive's Amina Al Sadi and Bryce Ellis needed some content to fill this month's podcast, so they looked to an expert: Luke Burbank, host of "TBTL" on KIRO, and a regular guest on NPR's "Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!" Plus, the team asks Seattleites: "What was the exact moment when you knew your relationship was doomed?"

Newest RadioActivians Activate Stories Of Dedication And Passion

Thursday, March 22, 2012

Lori Cavender dreams of opening a homeless shelter on Whidbey Island. Alexandra Brooks helps girls in Rwanda. Blair Burroughs works to remove land mines in Vietnam. This month our newest RadioActivians — Alexandra Brooks, Katie Rolnick, Vanessa Chidester, Mawusi Kudu, and Clare Martin — have brought together stories of people doing what they love and what they are passionate about. Hosts Kamna Shastri and Max Hutton guide us through the podcast and introduce the word of the month, which happens to be a synonym of passion.

What Now?

Thursday, January 26, 2012

The Protester is Time's 2011 "Person Of The Year." So, RadioActive hosts Bryce Ellis and Michelle Dutro chose this word of the month: 'remonstrate.' Chetan Chandrashekar explains why he and other students walked out of high school. And Zoe Sheinkopf reinterprets "Alice in Wonderland" to answer, 'What do I want to do in life?'
