News Network: Sacramento In this week's News Network, we focus our
attention to Sacramento reporters and the local stories they're
ringing into the new year. Jared Goyette, editor of the
Sacramento Press and the Sacramento Bee's metro reporter Ryan
Lillis join us in-studio.
Wild & Scenic Film Festival Considered one of the nation's
premiere environmental and adventure film festivals, the Annual
Wild & Scenic Film Festival is returning this year with a new
theme: "A Climate of Change". Along with their usual line-up
of beautiful, engaging, and eye-opening films, they will be
focusing this year on climate change, as well as highlighting the
change makers who are creating a more livable future. Today
we're joined with the director of the festival, as well one of the
climate change filmmakers.
Robin Sloan CapRadio Reads is launching the Capital Public Radio
Book Club this year with Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra's
24-hour Bookstore. Sloan is a self proclaimed media inventor
as well as an author and this is his first book. He calls his
book "...a novel about books and technology, cryptography and
conspiracy, friendship and love. It begins in a mysterious San
Francisco bookstore, but quickly reaches out into the wider world
and the shadowed past" and he joins us in the studio to talk about
it.
Indie Pop Sacramento With "honest pop," "Dr. Seuss," and "boot
stomping" listed as the bands' influences and interests, it's
difficult to put a label on the music of Musical Charis and Autumn
Sky. Their uniqueness is likely a positive thing, as the SN&R
described the group as "reeking of revival" and Autumn has won
Sacramento Music Award's "Artist of the Year" three years in a row.
Both bands join us in-studio today to talk about Sacramento's
thriving music scene, as well as their constant support for each
other's musical careers.

Indie Pop Sacramento With "honest pop," "Dr.
Seuss," and "boot stomping" listed as the bands' influences and
interests, it's difficult to put a label on the music of Musical Charis and Autumn Sky, two popular indie bands in
Sacramento. Their uniqueness is certainly a positive thing, as the
SN&R recently described Musical Charis as "reeking of revival"
and Autumn has won Sacramento Music Award's "Artist of the Year"
three years in a row. Both bands join us in-studio today to talk
about Sacramento's thriving music scene, as well as their constant
support for each other's musical careers. Both
bands are playing at Harlow's on January 11th.
