You can be part of making that happen. No experience is necessary. From administrative opportunities, social media, audio and video, too, producing a radio show, creating ideas for local shows, music shows, becoming a DJ, and a lot more, KNSJ has a place for you. Check us out. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you. Tonight at 6:30. For meeting information, call 619-283-1100.

Tim Walz-JD Vance Vice Presidential Debate Tonight

 The debate begins at 9 p.m. ET. It is the only scheduled vice presidential debate before the November election. You can watch it live on Democracy Now! with hosts Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, https://www.democracynow.org/live/watch_tim_walz_jd_vance_vice

Democracy Now! is carried on KNSJ M-F from 7-8am.

MESSAGE TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS FROM OUR STATION MANAGER

As a community radio station, we are very proud of the dynamically informative programming which we have on KNSJ. We are even prouder of our listeners, producers, volunteers and community donor supporters who are at the heart of our mission to transform the social, cultural and political dialogue in the border region. We depend on you for 90% of our funding through memberships and donations. Please renew your monthly contribution at this critical moment.

Improving our Radio Viability

KNSJ’s mission is to inform the diverse communities of San Diego with challenging content.  As the last full power station, licensed by the FCC, we have struggled to improve our signal, frustrated by increasingly harsh winter weather, and by mistreatment on the radio tower, which we rent. We are presently streaming at KNSJ.org 24/7 but our presently we are off the Broadcast airwaves. Our expectation is that we will be back on the air this month. Stay tuned!

We have an application with the FCC to relocate our antenna closer to San Diego. This application depends on approval by Mexico and has been held up for a very long time. If approved, we expect that our terrestrial signal will be much improved! We are eager to serve you better on terrestrial signal, and the important streaming through your smart speaker or smart phone as well as the content that we are putting onto social media that especially reaches young people.

Information is Critical for Elections!

Never has there been a greater need for accurate, trustworthy and insightful information. The very fiber of our society and the essence of our democracy is being challenged and we at KNSJ believe that our content is essential for democratic dialogue.

Please consider being a part of KNSJ as we are always eager to do outreach into the community as we recently did at the Kale Fest as well as two days at the Adams Avenue Street fair.

We need help producing new shows and dozens of other Volunteer opportunities to get our groundbreaking programming deeper into the community. Democracy depends on the free flow of information and also depends on you for the power to make that happen.

–Martin Eder, General Manager, KNSJ

NATIVE AMERICA CALLING M-F Noon-1pm

Friday, September 27, 2024 – The Menu: Weaponizing food, Dietary Guidelines, and a new place on Southwest comfort food

A Navajo baker is adding ingredients from her culture into the breads, cakes and convections into her new Tempe, Arizona restaurant called ReddHouse Pastry.

How much do the proposed USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans reflect what industries want to promote as opposed to what Native Americans consider nutritious? When the new version of the guidelines is released, it has implications for the food that makes its way into school lunches, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, and SNAP.

Former President Donald Trump won’t back away from promoting a false rumor about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating cats and dogs. The Haitian residents now fear for their safety and say Trump is dehumanizing them for political gain. The same tactic has been used against Native Americans as well, and food is one means to do it.

GUESTS

Carly Griffith Hotvedt (Cherokee), interim executive director of the Indigenous Food & Agriculture Initiative
