Tonight, we’ve got the Molotov Mouths joining us LIVE in studio. They’re a group of poetic fire-spitters, based in the Bay Area, united by a single goal: Justice.  Politically radical and radically personal, their poetry takes on issues of gentrification, gender, poverty, race, disability, and more.  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.

The Molotov Mouths Reunion takes place Monday, November 26th from 7-9PM at Bird & Beckett, 653 Chenery Street in San Francisco’s Glen Park. For more information, call 1-415-586-3733 or check out there website.

Full Circle 11.9.18: Melvin Dickson & DJ Show

This Bay Area … is the alpha and the omega of many of our life’s themes. After the Midterm Elections on November 6^th, we should reflect a bit with some sounds and, at times, a few words. Additionally, we want to acknowledge the passing of a Bay Area legend and member of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense.  Mr. Melvin Dickson has died and we want to bring in Mr. Esebio Halliday to provide some perspective and knowledge about this giant in the community.

On tonight’s show, we will have:

• A tribute for Mr. Melvin Dickson, as discussed with Mr. Esebio Halliday …
• Post-Election thoughts …
• Music in the soulful spirit of democracy.

All that tonight on Full Circle!

F.C. 10-26-18: Exploring Past Lives – Healing from Other Worlds and Other Bodies

We’re nearing that time of year again, the day when the barriers to the spirit world are said to be at their thinnest. Here on Full Circle we want to celebrate Nature’s cycle of death and rebirth by exploring some other costumes we may have tried on in the past…bodies that is. That’s right, tonight we will be speaking about past lives. We’re going to get a bit soulful and also a bit spooky at the same time here …

On tonight’s show:

• We will speak with Susan Lyons and Dianne Wallace about their experiences helping others journey to their past lives and we will explore the powerful impact this information has had on them and their clients.

• We will listen to accounts of real people who remembered their past lives.

All that tonight on Full Circle.
