(Airdate: May 12, 2026) Maryanne interviews Larry Stein, founding program director for KPTZ. Larry grew up in the shadow of the Hollywood studios and dreamed of being on the creative side of the industry. Years later he met up with four dreamers who believed in a community radio station in PT. None of them had any experience in radio. But Larry did! By that time he had years of experience at a community radio station in LA. After that fateful meeting at the PT farmers market (where else?) he joined the team. Larry was handed a dream assignment— creating programming for a brand new station. It wasn’t easy. But since going live in May 2011, KPTZ has become part of the foundation of this community. Larry’s vision of mixing everything from opera to hard rock turns out to be just the thing for this eclectic town.
