Keeping Kurrent Show

The Place where we talk about the ideas, issues and trends that shape your everyday life.

Wayne Potter and his Indian travel agent, Prasad, standing in the entryway of the Red Fort in New Delhi. This is a famous site where in 1857 the British army and the Indian rebels clashed. The Indians lost this decisive war, however, today Indians honor this time and place for India's efforts to gain independence. It is a fantastic place. This picture was taken during April, 2007.

Meet the Program's Host and Producer

 

Check out some of the ideas, issues and trends explored on previous Keeping Kurrent shows.

Wayne Potter, the host of Keeping Kurrent. Wayne has produced and hosted Keeping Kurrent since the show's inception. That all began in September 1998. The show has lasted for seven seasons, part way through June, 2005. This is a picture taken during October 2003.

 

Wayne and Pam on a spit of land on Bruny Island, Tasmania. This has an inlet of water on left side and the Tasmanian Sea on the right. After we left this site we learned that there were Tiger snakes in this area. They are very poisonous.

 

 

 

 

During late December 2005 and early January 2006 Pam, Wayne and their daughter, Margret, took a flight to Hong Kong. They visited Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and, of course, Lantau Island. While on Lantau they visited the Tian Tan Budda and ate lunch in the monastery. This is a beautiful site. There are overhead trams being constructed that will run from the airport to the village.

 

 

Here's the latest trip on the Oregon Coast Explorer. The host, Wayne Potter, is joined by Kay and Bob (sitting). Bob is a train enthusiast and Kay supports his efforts. He recalls (on the Tillamook RR program aired on October 10th) that he went on a different but similar train over this same route a number of years back. You meet a lot of nice people on trains no matter where you travel.

 

Here's what the show's host has to say about that trip. Double click on Wayne's trip. You can see more pictures of the ride at my Trains, Trains, Trains web page. Just double click Trains, Trains, Trains.

During March 2005, Wayne and his wife, Pam Brown, in St. Kilda, which just south of Melbourne, Australia. This is a picture taken in front Cafe 97," a restaurant along Fitzroy Street. It reminded us a lot of NW Portland. It was busy, sunny, and delightful. A young woman offered to take our picture as we at our lunch here. M-m-m was that a good lunch. Wayne and Pam plan on taking more trips and meeting more people along the way. We hope that you'll enjoy meeting them.
