Tim Goodrich

Co-founder Iraq Veterans Against the War

Previously Aired On: June 21, 2006 - Listen to this Show!

Tim Goodrich is the West coast contact of the Iraq Veterans Against the War and one of its founding members. While in the Air Force, he was stationed at Tinker AFB, OK as part of the 552 AMXS squadron where he maintained communication, navigation, and cryptological systems on the E-3 AWACS command and control aircraft.

Tim deployed to the Middle East three times during his enlistment. The first deployment was in support of Operation Southern Watch (patrolling of southern no-fly zone over Iraq). During his second deployment, Tim provided direct combat support for Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) shortly after the attacks on September 11, 2001. His final, and possibly most significant deployment, was again in support of Operation Southern Watch. During this time, he participated in the intensified bombing of Iraq during the fall of 2002, while President Bush was stating that diplomacy would be used first and before the U.S. Congress or the United Nations had been approached.

Mary Youngblood

Grammy Award Winning Musician

Previously Aired On: June 14, 2006 - Listen to this Show!

Bending tradition, Mary Youngblood is a modern American Indian woman of one half Aleut (Alaskan) and one half Seminole (Floridian) descent. With her children, she currently resides in Northern California. Youngblood is often touted as the first Native American female to professionally record the Native flute. Verifying her talent and mastery of this ancient instrument traditionally played only by men, she was the first woman to win the Flutist of the Year award in both 1999 and 2000 as well as, the Best Female Artist award in 2000 at the Native American Music Awards (NAMMYS).

Each of Youngblood’s three recordings are different stylistically from one another. Her debut The Offering is a solo flute recording that was recorded live to DAT in the huge underground chamber of the Moaning Cavern in California. These natural acoustics lend an amazing echo and organic quality to the distinctly memorable melodies that Youngblood creates with her flutes.
