Our mission at KPOV is to strengthen community, the arts, local culture, and democracy through our independent, non-commercial radio portal. This is confidently supported by Critical Conversations, a special project developed to feature unique perspectives and the courage it takes to “go there,” challenging mundane thought and questioning the norm.
We must build up to avoid urban sprawl.
Whether we like it or not, the topic of urban growth is all the rage, with boundaries needing expansion and residential living quarters going vertical. The idea is to go up and not out, to protect more of what our community thrives off of; the forests and open lands surrounding cities. Our Friday Point hosts ask some direct questions and challenge city councilors to continue the conversation.

Critical Conversations would not be possible without the generous support of Oregon Humanities, Deschutes Cultural Coalition, the James A. Lee Community Gift Fund and The Roundhouse Foundation.
