Our mission at KPOV is to strengthen community, the arts, local culture, and democracy through our independent, non-commercial radio portal. This is confidently supported by Critical Conversations, a special project developed to feature unique perspectives and the courage it takes to “go there,” challenging mundane thought and questioning the norm.
You are allowed to show up just as you are every day.
Reaching for a higher level of self-awareness can be very exciting and very scary at the same time and requires us to show up as our true authentic selves. Whitney Walker, Mental Health Therapist and creator of Women Waken, shares her own story of transformation and teaches that by moving toward the harmonic aspects of life, we can exponentially create more harmony.

Recreational drug use in America is gone.
Staggering quantities of cheap, synthetic drugs manufactured in Mexico have covered the United States in recent years and reimagines the profile of the stereotypical addict. Families who experience loss of a loved one to addiction are often left with more questions than answers, but it’s the pain of political negligence that is the crime. We need deep collaboration between the US and Mexico in order to benevolently guide our complicated and connected destiny.
