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.

Mike Macy shares his story of trauma and transformation that led him to master and, ultimately, write the first textbook in his field. Craniosacral Therapy invites us to let go of what’s not helpful, move forward and heal.
