Squids for the Planet

KSQD’s “Squid Squad” had a booth at Earthday 2019 at San Lorenzo Park, complete with our mascot, Squidmore, the 12-foot tall squid. We made new friends, and greeted many new listeners who were quite excited and postive about what they are hearing. We recorded dozens of local voices for the airwaves explaining what they were doing to lighten their impact on the planet. Listen for the montage soon on our airwaves. Here are a few pictures from Earthday.

Hi there,
I’m trying to track down the On Being episode played on EarthDay, Saturday, April 20th at 11 am. Can you give me the name of the guest? It was an archived episode that was very, very interesting.
Thanks a bunch. Love your station and your activism.
