Exploring Monterey Bay from KSQD

Chris Tomkins - Elephant Seals

00:00 /

Park Ranger Chris Tomkins may have gotten more up close and more personal with the Elephant Seals in Año Nuevo than just about any two legged creature. Chris joins guest host Erik Nelson as he reveals the private lives of these stupendous local denizens — and the best ways you can see them for yourself — all year around. Chris is not only a Ranger at Año Nuevo, he enjoys a not-so-secret life behind the scenes at Kuumbwa Jazz. Is there some strange nexus where the Elephant Seal and the Jazzbo collide? Probably not — but — find out for yourself, as we experience a Close Encounter with the Elephant Seal Whisperer himself, Chris Tomkins!!

Mathilde Rand: December of 2008, I became part of the First Person Singular Team at KUSP (at that point we were five). During the last months of KUSP in 2016, I was the last hold-out. Now I am providing the same 2-minute program at KSQD, Community Radio, because I wholeheartedly believe in giving community members a voice. I am also the treasurer at KSQD. LAURIE CORN: I am attracted to the process of reducing a meaningful story or opinion to 90 seconds. I am a writer, so editing and honing a piece is a special love of mine. I have joined Mathilde Rand as co-producer of First Person Singular, and I encourage you to share your commentary on the air. This is community radio at its best.
