Ep 167: Adam Schluter, Building Community, One Monday at a Time 34:26

9 hours ago34:26

34:26

Adam Schluter, photojournalist and founder of Hello from a Stranger , moved to Coeur d'Alene a few years ago, knowing no one. Feeling isolated, he longed for real connection. Inspired by his mother’s tradition of Monday night family dinners, he opened his backyard to the community with one simple rule: bring a side dish—no business, no politics, no phones. Just genuine connection. This May marked his 90th Monday Night Dinner, a milestone that reflects the growing impact of these inclusive gatherings. Now, Adam is launching a new series: OFF Monday Nights—evenings of art, culture, and connection on the Mondays without a regular dinner. Kicking off June 2nd with improv from Levity Theatre (CDA/Spokane), future nights will feature storytelling, stand-up, poetry, and more. The format: Dinner from 6:00–7:30 p.m., followed by a show. Guests bring a side dish and a $10 suggested donation (which goes directly to the performers). While the first half of the night encourages conversation and connection, the second half invites the community to settle in and enjoy the show. It’s all part of Adam’s mission: bringing people together, one shared meal—and now, one performance—at a time. For more information, visit the Monday Night Dinners Facebook page.

Meet Christina Crawford, actress, author, and performer in theater, film, and television. Her first book, Mommie Dearest, was a New York Times Bestseller in 1978. She has always been an advocate for social justice, particularly for the rights of children and women who have been assaulted or abused. Her unwavering belief in justice, regardless of when the abuse occurred, is a powerful message of empowerment and hope. Ali and Callie had the privilege of meeting Christina to delve into her enlightening book, Daughters of the Inquisition: Medieval Madness: Origins and Aftermath. This literary masterpiece provides a comprehensive account of the events that have shaped modern womanhood in the Western world, offering a unique perspective on 'Herstory'. The book's primary focus is the evolution of women’s spiritual communion, chronicling cultural, industrial, governmental, and gender dynamics throughout the centuries. It explores the impact of the Inquisition on women's lives, their struggles, and their resilience in the face of oppression. It also sheds light on the aftermath of the Inquisition and its lasting effects on the status of women in society. Since 1993, Christina has called the Inland Northwest her home, where she has embarked on diverse experiences. She has been a B&B owner, a regional TV show host at Channel 24 in Spokane, WA, a county commissioner, and the Entertainment Manager for the CDA Casino. “Own your life, own your journey, honor that journey, and understand that is the only reason you are graced with life.” You can find her books on Amazon.…

Ep 155: Elizabeth Wilkes, Renewing Your Mind through Art 36:21

36:21

Artist Elizabeth Wilkes' journey is a powerful example of how art can be a tool for healing and recovery. It’s fascinating hearing how she used color and intentional creativity to not only rebuild her artistic expression but also reconnect the neural pathways in her brain. The idea of painting with her left hand to facilitate healing adds a deeply personal and neuroplastic element to her process. The impact of art therapy is something that’s becoming more recognized in psychological and emotional healing, and Elizabeth's story exemplifies how much potential it has. It's great to hear that she now shares this healing journey with others through art, helping others overcome their trauma as well.

Theater on the Verge is a new independent theater company based in Spokane, Washington that believes theater should be a visceral, personal experience—one that ignites conversation, inspires connection, and leaves a lasting impact. (To quote a favorite show , we’d rather be “nine people’s favorite thing than a hundred people’s ninth-favorite thing.”) Co-founders Troy Nickerson and Chris Jensen talk to us about what inspired them to start a new theater company and how they chose their first show. Their first performance "Every Brilliant Thing" runs February 27 - March 15 at the Hamilton Studio in Spokane. This one man show, starring Doug Dawson, is heart-wrenching, hilarious…one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression—and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see, full stop. For information about show times and to purchase tickets, visit theaterontheverge.com. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or know of someone who is, call 988 to get the help and support you need. It's free. It's confidential. And connects you with a trained crisis counselor.…
