Meet the newest members of the
KRCB team
KRCB is pleased to introduce our three newest employees,
underwriting sales representatives Mary Bishop and Cathy
Slack, and Mark Prell, host for All Things Considered on
Radio 91.
A world traveler who has lived in Sicily, Oman and Japan,
Mary comes to us with local sales experience in both print
and radio. A lifelong fan of NPR and PBS (“I loved Upstairs,
Downstairs and the Galloping Gourmet”), Bishop enjoys
running, cooking and spending time with her eight year-old
daughter.
Cathy Slack is a proud 4th generation Santa Rosan and a
busy singer who can be heard singing around the North Bay
in three groups Stage Fright, Hott Spell—and in a yet-to-be-
permanently-named duo. She comes to KRCB with a strong
background in local radio, and a passion for working in her
community with non-profits, and supporting public educa-
tion. Not so coincidentally, Cathy has two children in Santa
Rosa City Schools.
Mark Prell has been a dedicated volunteer at KRCB-FM
over the past year, holding down the hosting duties on
Saturday mornings, and filling in most capably as needed
during the weekday NPR newsmagazines as well. Now he
has stepped in as our full-time local host for KRCB-FM’s
afternoon line-up of Democracy Now!, Fresh Air and ATC,
making good on his aspirations for a broadcasting career.
Mark can also be heard Sunday evenings as part of the team
that brings you Outbeat Salon.

KRCB in the community
Sail the rivers of Europe with Burt Wolf and benefit KRCB!
KRCB and Burt Wolf invite you to join in a wonderful adventure:
cruise on one of the world’s most luxurious river boats and support
your local public broadcasting station in a rare and truly delightful
way! The 2010 European River Cruises offer a unique opportunity
for a limited number of people to travel with Burt Wolf next summer,
see the sights and visit the places where the television series, Burt Wolf
Travels & Traditions, is filmed.
Sail along the Rhine River through France, Germany and Hol-
land with stops in Amsterdam, Cologne, Rudesheim, Heildelberg,
and Strasbourg, or start in Paris with stops in Arles, (the capital of
Provence), Avignon, and Burgundy with a finish in Nice on the French Riviera. Choose a
Danube cruise that begins in Prague and goes on to Nuremberg, Regensburg, and Passau,
with stops in Salzburg, and Vienna.
Packed with special events, historical sights, and wine and food tastings, these experiences
wouldn’t normally be available, but for supporters of KRCB, it’s all possible! River travel is a
hassle-free, worry-free way to see the world. You unpack
just once, and then relax, as you’re off to the good times
that each river cruise trip offers.
To book your cruise or learn more about the 2010
European River Cruises, contact Burt Wolf Tours &
Cruises LLC at 888-365-3443 or online at burtwolf.

KRCB members and fellow travelers for a trip to
remember!
Dear Member,
Here at the station we have been spending a lot of time lately working on the con-
cept of expanding our service to our local communities. A friend of the station recently
suggested an adjustment to the regular concept of “network.” We should conceive of
ourselves not as a part of a network but rather as providing and creating a network
among local groups, using our on-air and on-line capacities to accomplish this. Perhaps
we use radio and television to introduce folks to on-line communities which form
around a program or a local band or a shared issue, offering everyone a chance to meet
up with folks of similar interests and concerns. Connecting audiences, if you will.
We, as a community, might reap remarkable and unanticipated
results: Do we re-learn the concept of community involvement and
engagement; do we become a community of learners and doers; do
we consciously and purposefully put our collective attention to
making the North Bay the best possible community? Certainly
food for thought in the world of new media.
I believe that KRCB—as our locally owned, locally controlled,
locally programmed media resource—is a key element in
achieving this potential. We’re lucky to have it, thanks to
you!
Sincerely,
Nancy Dobbs
President and CEO

Professor of Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies, Stanford gives a refreshingly inventive
take on the matter.

Open Air continues to go paperless!
Like many other environmentally aware organizations, KRCB is
doing our part to preserve the environment. We began with a recycling
program in our offices and studios, expanded to the production of
the nationally distributed, award-winning program Natural Heroes,
and continued with the replacement of KRCB‘s landscaping to
help conserve water.
Now we are asking you, our members, to join with us. If you
already regularly communicate with us through e-mail or
regularly renew your membership online, what could be more natural than extending those
activities to include getting your Open Air online at KRCB.org.
Going online to KRCB.org to get your copy of Open Air not only helps the environment,
it helps to avoid postal mail delivery delays, assures that you have the most current copy of
Open Air well in advance of mail delivery, and, if you ever misplace your copy, it’s always
there, online at KRCB.org.
And most importantly, an online Open Air assures our supporters that more of the funds they
provide to KRCB go toward great programming.
Supporting television
worth watching…made easy!
KRCB invites you to join a special group of supporters.
Those who provide their support to KRCB through
automatic deduction, on a monthly basis, from their
checking or credit card accounts. It’s Easy...
To become a Sustaining Partner simply contact KRCB,

Student to Citizen Series: Big Bucks, Big Pharma
Marketing Disease & Pushing Drugs
Big Bucks, Big Pharma pulls back the curtain on the
multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose
the insidious ways that illness is, manipulated and in
some instances created for capital gain. Focusing on
the industry’s marketing practices, media scholars and
health professionals help viewers understand the ways
in which direct-to-consumer (DTC) pharmaceuti-
cal advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of
prescription medication, and works in tandem with
promotion to doctors. Combined, these industry prac-
tices shape how both patients and doctors understand
and relate to disease and treatment. Ultimately, Big
Bucks, Big Pharma challenges us to ask important ques-
tions about the consequences of relying on a for-profit
industry for our health and well-being.

The Alexanders are
Great!
The Alexander String Quartet is most
likely a familiar name in your chamber
music lexicon. This internationally
known quartet has performed regularly
in local chamber music concerts over
the last several years. Last year they
released a boxed set of the complete
String Quartets of Beethoven. To honor
both Beethoven and the Alexander, your
Sunday Classics hosts have decided to
play the complete oeuvre over the
coming months. Tune in to Sunday
Classics on January 10th to hear Opus 18, #1, and then most weeks after that for the other
fifteen, in chronological order. We will play one a week, skipping the opera weekends
(usually the first Sunday of the month, see the opera schedule elsewhere in this issue), and
the quartets will be played at 2 pm, in the middle of the show. Be sure to tune in early and
catch the other extraordinary music that your Sunday Classics hosts choose for you.
Sundays at noon

Opera Sunday schedule for 2010
As the New Year rolls inevitably in, it is, of course, time for a new list of operas for the
coming year. Many familiar favorites will resound over the airwaves this year from Barber
of Seville, Faust, and Aida to Salome and Götterdämmerung. We finish off our three year
cycle of Donizetti’s “Three Queens” with Roberto Devereux, and listen to the third of three
operas that Handel drew from Orlando Furioso with Orlando. Somewhat lesser known
operas include Pearl Fishers and Pique Dame (Bizet and Tchaikovsky, respectively), and
David Carlson’s contemporary Anna Karenina. Our Mozart offering this year is opera seria
with Mitridate. And to start the year off, we’ll listen to Il Trittico—the trio of one act
operas by Puccini (Suor Angelica, Il Tabarro, and Gianni Schicci), so you’re really getting
14 operas this year!
Tune in on the first Sunday of each month at noon for the operas. (As a note, the
February and April operas will be on the second Sunday to accommodate the Santa Rosa
Symphony broadcasts).
