My Real Portland

Recorded live at the Clinton Street Theater at 26th and Clinton in Portland Oregon on February 20th, 2020. Audio goes wonky after minute 40. Sorry!

Recorded live at the Jade Lounge at 24th and Ankeny in Portland Oregon on February 9th, 2020.

Our show will open with the fabulous northern Minnesota 4H-member farm-grown non-problematic Comedian Dani Schi. Then, The Reformers will perform a sneak peek of their Neo-Horror show from an abandoned Lloyd Center storefront. Audience members will get the chance to complete for fun swag and merch with Portland trivia. And then Portland Neo-Soul/Alt-R&B group Adebisi will close out the show with soulful sounds of the 6-piece band. Band members Bisi Akuneye and Leo Hauser will talk about being cleared by a grand jury after being charged for punching Nazis at the Growler Taproom.

Each episode just keeps getting better and better! In this episode I invite comedian, wordsmith, activist, bon vivant Carlos Kareem Windham to the stage. Then I talk to my good friend Lisa Loving about her book Street Journalist: Understand and Report the News in Your Community. The Game Show tests folks’ knowledge of local bridge trivia - then I bring up Complimentary Colors, a neo-folk duo with a big bold sound with sweet delightful performance. Recorded live September 8th at the Slide Inn at 24th and SE Ankeny in Portland. The audio is a little high and low in volume - you may need to adjust accordingly.

HUGE NEWS! The My Real Portland Community just got bigger and better! Introducing co-host, sidekick, and co-producer Christian Burke.
