    BottleRock Bound: Emily from Napa Valley Transit Talks The Vine & Festival Season

    For this episode of KSVY Oddcast, Ronny Joe Grooms sits down with Emily Charrier, Communications and Outreach Coordinator from the Napa Valley Transit Authority for a conversation that starts with BottleRock season and expands into the broader world of public transportation in Napa Valley and beyond. With thousands of people heading toward the Napa Expo during festival weekend, Emily shares insight into navigating the region using The Vine, transportation planning around major events, and the ways transit helps connect communities throughout Napa County. Emily also brings a unique perspective to the conversation — her office overlooks the Napa Expo grounds, giving her an unusual soundtrack this week as BottleRock preparations ramp up and sound checks drift across the valley. Then Emily joins Kate Bruno on It's All About You for a musical side trip, selecting favorite artists and tracks from this year's BottleRock lineup and sharing some of the sounds she's looking forward to hearing. Hear the extended conversation and music selections here: https://ksvy.org/its-all-about-you/ Part festival guide, part community conversation, and part soundtrack for the season, this episode explores what happens when transportation and music meet in Wine Country.

    Cory Doctorow on The Lost Cause, AI, and the Future of the Internet | KSVY Sonoma

    In this wide-ranging conversation, Ronny Joe Grooms of KSVY Sonoma 91.3 FM sits down with author, journalist, and digital rights activist Cory Doctorow to discuss his novel The Lost Cause and the real-world systems shaping its near-future vision. Originally recorded on December 7, 2023, this interview takes on new resonance today as many of the issues explored in The Lost Cause—political instability, technological disruption, and the restructuring of society after crisis—have moved from speculative fiction into lived experience. Doctorow connects the themes of the book to present-day realities, breaking down how copyright law has expanded far beyond its original purpose, why it often fails to protect creators in a monopolized system, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping labor, ownership, and creative work. The conversation also explores: how The Lost Cause imagines a world after a failed political turning pointthe concept of “enshittification” and the lifecycle of digital platformswhy lawsuits against AI companies may miss the real issuethe role of monopoly power in shaping both technology and culturehow open systems and collective action offer alternative paths forwardThis is both a literary conversation and a systems-level analysis—connecting fiction, policy, and lived reality in a rapidly changing world.

    Sally Kohn with Ronny Joe Grooms: Connection, Conflict & Staying Human in Divided Times

    In this extended KSVY Morning Show conversation, Ronny Joe Grooms sits down with Sally Kohn—writer, political commentator, public speaking coach, and former progressive voice on Fox News—for a timely discussion about division, dialogue, and the challenge of staying human in polarized times. Known for stepping directly into ideological firestorms and engaging across sharp political divides, Sally reflects on what she has learned from years of debate, disagreement, and difficult conversations. Together, Ronny and Sally explore the tensions between righteous anger and empathy, power imbalances in public discourse, media polarization, and what it really means to seek connection without demanding agreement. This conversation comes ahead of Sally Kohn’s Wake Up Sonoma fireside chat on April 24 at the Sebastiani Theatre, moderated by Martin Gobbee.
