Learn about your candidates for Juneau School Board and Juneau Assembly in this forum moderated by the League of Women Voters of Juneau‘s Alyson Currey.

The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, but live video streams will be available through all partner organizations, the Mendenhall Valley Public Library, as well as live audio on KTOO at 104.3 FM. Archived versions will also be available online.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the program begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20, @360 in the KTOO building. We plan to spend about 30 minutes with the school board candidates, have a brief intermission, and then 90 minutes with the assembly candidates.

Juneau’s municipal election is Oct. 2.

Co-hosted by KTOO, Juneau Empire, and Juneau Votes.

Join KRNN DJ and host Phil Paramore for an evening filled with diverse styles of guitar music. Musicians Mark Heard, Laura and Abigail Zahasky, Ward Ward, and Dan Hopson will celebrate the six-string guitar in a way that is unique to each player. Sound by Betsy Sims and Studio A. Concert will be recorded for later broadcast on KRNN.

Survival of the funniest

Comedian, actor, and writer Tig Notaro digs through life’s most absurd and awkward, and transforms droll into dynamite. Rolling Stone named her one of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time. A favorite on late-night talk shows and “This American Life”, the creator and star of the Amazon series “One Mississippi” is on-point and observational, understated yet spontaneous, to the effect that “you end up laughing at your own tension” — Elle. The breast cancer survivor announced her diagnosis during a now-legendary set at Largo — “Hello. Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you?” — and later performed her HBO special topless following her double mastectomy. If you’re a comedy nerd or someone who loves wry, dry humor, Tig will leave you in tears of laughter. No question.
