Check out the newest addition to the PRP-Podcast Co-op, Greater Greater Portland!

In our inaugural episode, hosts Xavier D. Stickler, Bradley Bondy, and Jenna Deml introduce themselves, and set the stage for primary themes of discussion throughout the course of this series.

They address the general consensus which is that Portland is deeply unhappy and institutions are not properly equipped to correct it just yet. However, the path towards improvement lies in realizing change is possible, but it is crucial to understand what the local community can and cannot accomplish. Despite all of the negative press and opinions surrounding Portland, the team close out with why they continue to keep positive about the city in which they were born and raised, and also explain the meaning behind the name, “Greater Greater Portland.”

Researched, written and hosted by Xavier D. Stickler and Bradley Bondy

The tech industry, innovative and as it might see itself, has not always been the most modern in its views of gender within its own work. As if we needed more proof, the now infamous "Google memo" bears that out in an instant. But that begs the question: well, what do we do?

Today, we're talking with two women who, we think, have some of the answers. They are pioneers of women's empowerment in the tech industry, and they have salient advice for those both inside the industry and out.

This week's Biz503 hosts:

Wendy Kotila, Business Coach, Startup Mentor and Teacher
Rebecca Webb, Co-Founder of Portland Radio Project
This week's guests:

Janice Levenhagen-Seeley, Founder and CEO of ChickTech
Megan Bigelow, Co-Founder of PDX Women in Tech
Listen to Biz503 Fridays, 1:00 pm. at 99.1 FM in the heart of Portland, or stream from anywhere worldwide at PRP.fm. If you miss the broadcast, you can listen to the podcast here on the Monday following the broadcast.

Drop-In Session With Chase Atlantic on Portland Radio Project

It goes without saying that climate change is part of the fabric of our lives these days, as rising sea levels, storms, and the other consequences of high-carbon economies start to take their toll on the environment. But Portland faces a unique set of climate challenges and has a unique opportunity to respond. We’ll be talking through those challenges and responses this week with our panel:

Heidi Sickert joins us from Portland Community College, where she teaches a course about eco-innovation and social entrepreneurship. She’s also the chair of the college’s Sustainability Practices for Academics and Resources Council, and an independent consultant.

Sam Pardue is the CEO and founder of Indow, a local window insert manufacturer that is also a member of the Oregon Business Alliance for Climate, a climate policy advocacy group.

And at the top of the show, Biz503 producer Coby Hutzler visits Jana Gastellum at the Oregon Environmental Council, an environmental advocacy membership organization. She’s the council’s program director for climate, and she spoke to Coby about the threats Portland faces from climate change, and how businesses—large and small—can do their part to fight it.

Biz503 S03E15 - Global Warming and Small Businesses

For many higher-ed students, the trade-off of obtaining a diploma isn’t just four-plus years and a lot of hard work – it’s also a daunting sum of money paid out to colleges and universities. Many students patchwork their way through the financial burden with a mix of grants, parental support, scholarships, out-of-pocket payments…and student loans.

And while  these loans seem like a great opportunity to students trying to get through school, loans can turn from financial stepping stones into debt sinkholes. Last fall, the U.S. Department of Education, put the average student loan debt at $33,310, and the total student loan debt at $1.44 trillion. 

There are myriad reasons student loan debt stacks up, and a lot forks in the road to repayment. But regardless of how daunting the bill may be, and how easy it is to ignore the rising tide of debt, students will ultimately have to close the gap.

Get advice on getting out of debt in the second episode of Moving Lives Forward, as the podcast presents Strategies for Tackling Student Loan Debt. The episode airs April 14, at 4:30 pm, on 99.1 FM and streaming at prp.fm, and will be available soon thereafter here on this blog post, as well on Stitcher and iTunes.

This episode covers…

Historical context of the U.S. student loan debt crisis
The difference between private and federal loans
What it means to to enter loan delinquency – and why it’s best avoided
The difference between loan rehabilitation and loan consolidation
The basics of income-based repayment plans
Resources and advice for successful loan repayment
Moving Lives Forward is hosted by Rebecca Webb, cofounder of Portland Radio Project.

Joining Rebecca on this episode is Mark Oliver, a financial coach who’s been serving the Portland area since 2011, including over four years with the Economic Empowerment Programs at Metropolitan Family Service.  His work has included everything from household budgeting and savings plans, to debt management and credit building.

In this  episode, host Heidi Moore will guide us through the stories of two family-owned and operated wineries. The first maintains a small annual production as part of their commitment to offer the highest quality wines at exceptional values; and the second is the largest grape producer in the Elkton Oregon AVA, whose core belief is that Oregon wineries should aim to be Old World in the New World.

Winery Biographies

Dion Vineyard

Just outside of greater Portland, off the Hillsboro Highway 219, nestled in the Chehalem Mountains of the northern Willamette Valley, is Dion’s 60-acre vineyard dating back to 1976 and their small winery and tasting room. Their family-owned and operated enterprise maintains an intentionally small annual production as part of their commitment to offer the highest quality wines at exceptional values.

Winemaker Kevin Johnson, founded the winery in 2007 and carries on third-generation winegrowing traditions. His grandfather began the legacy by growing grapes and producing wines near Sunnyside, Washington. For over 45 years, Kevin and his family have been growing wine grapes in their little slice of beautiful Oregon, just outside the city.

Their production includes primarily Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. They also offer in limited quantities: Sparkling Wines, Tempranillo, Rose, Viognier, and Chardonnay.  Kevin and his wife Beth Klingner handcraft around 1000 cases per year.  They still provide premium wine grapes to other Willamette Valley wineries from their 60 acres
Bradley Vineyards

Bradley Vineyards was founded in 1983 by brothers John and Richard Bradley. With the helping hands of family and friends, nearly 30 acres of Pinot Noir, Gewurtztraminer and Riesling grapes were planted in the South and West facing hills of Elkton, Oregon.

For the first 17 years, John developed as a viticulturist, and sold the entirety of his crop to wineries around the state of Oregon. But when friends Mike and Vonnie Landt moved to town and built their winery, River’s Edge, a partnership began allowing John to start producing a small amount of wine under the Bradley Vineyards label.

In the early 2000s, John expanded the vineyard by planting a small block of Baco Noir grapes, as well as grafting Baco Noir onto a portion of mature Gewurtztraminer vines. He also introduced a small block of Pommard, a clone of Pinot Noir. After John’s untimely passing in 2014, the Vineyards continue to thrive under the leadership of his wife, Bonnie. Their son, Tyler cares for the vineyard and makes the wines at the River’s Edge Winery facilities on the west end of Elkton.
