San Diego's first Native business owner in the Gaslamp and a local Native artist reflect on the meaning of Native American Heritage Month.

Broadcast Friday, Nov, 28, 2025 at Noon on KPBS Radio. For many people gathering around the table this holiday season, things feel… a little different. Maybe it’s the cost of ingredients that’s on your mind. Or new SNAP paperwork requirements. Maybe you’re a farmer - struggling after the USDA cut grant and loan forgiveness programs. This holiday season, Marketplace brings listeners a collection of stories about the economics and business of food – with a touch of history.

We conclude our time with Chama, a Venezuelan exile who made her way to the United States via Tijuana. She shares her Herculean effort to enter the U.S. legally and, despite all her efforts, how the system ultimately failed her.

On Friday, Dec. 5, Songwriter Sanctuary will ring in the holidays with a season closer featuring original music from some of San Diego’s folkiest and funniest troubadours. Don your gay apparel and join Cara Cormier, Peggy Watson and Dave Beldock, and JT Moring as they swap songs and stories in a Nashville-style round. The event is hosted by the legendary Jeff Berkley in partnership with Normal Heights United. (4650 Mansfield St. Suggested Donation $10. All ages. Doors 6:30 p.m., Music 7 p.m.) All donations collected go directly to artists, and no one is turned away for lack of funds. Community Care: Normal Heights United has a big community fridge and pantry just steps from the venue. Please consider bringing unopened/unexpired items for under-resourced neighbors! If our Songwriter Sanctuary audience can stock it once a month, that would be an incredible gift to the community and support for our venue partners at NHU who actually church like churches should church! (No frozen items please.) About the Artists Cara Cormier flings lyrical spaghetti into the universe to keep herself sane, help people laugh, and create a more just and compassionate society. Drawing from her rural Kansas Mennonite upbringing, Cara uses her love of folk and Americana styles to craft cheeky, heartfelt story-songs using acoustic guitar, harmonica, mandolin, banjo, and spoons. From hysterical dating accounts to mischievous protest songs to tender confessionals, Cara writes the songs you never expected to hear. David Beldock and Peggy Watson started their collaboration as unlikely music partners. While David spent years performing with various bands, honing his rock and blues guitar playing, Peggy was rooted in contemporary folk traditions with occasional detours into jazz and pop. But when they joined forces, they discovered that writing songs together was a fun challenge that they couldn’t resist. The result has been a collection of melodic, thoughtful, funny, and emotional songs that appeal to a wide range of listeners. Their styles span everything from folk to jazz to blues to show tunes. JT Moring is a dynamic entertainer known for incisive songs/stories and audience engagement. He performs solo on guitar or banjo, and in collaboration with a collection of San Diego County’s top musicians. 2024 was a year of recording, performances with Storytellers of San Diego (where they let me sing as long as I tell a story to go with it!), house concerts, backyard parties, Adams Avenue Unplugged, and recording and releasing a new album LINES. Get on the email list for notifications. 2025 has seen a lot of new songs and lots of performances, many of them with Richie Strell (harmonicas and other noisemakers), and Terry Wardell (bass).

Join us on Wednesday November 12 at 6 p.m. as we welcome Ruby Dee Philippa to the store to read, discuss and sign "Bag of Tricks Trilogy." This event is free to attend and will be held at the Pacifica Breeze Cafe Deck. Reserved seating is limited. Purchase one copy of any of the three books for one seat. Bag of Tricks Book Purchase reservation Tricky Business Book Purchase reservation Old Tricks, New Treats Book Purchase reservation "Bag of Tricks" is a compilation of short stories about San Francisco punks in the early '80s. These vignettes stand alone yet bleed into one another. Meet the band The Shits, their groupies The Clits, and an array of colorful characters who populate these streets, squats and punk shows. With them, we cop drugs, shoot up, dumpster dive, trip around The City, go to punk shows and slip between the cracks of society. Most of the stories are true, although some of the details may or may not have happened... Ruby wrote "Bag of Tricks" after reconnecting with old punk friends and reminiscing about those lost years. Most of what she wrote came from events that really occurred, though Ruby took liberties and changed some details, because she could.

Spiritualism, an 1887 Mansion, and Mystery — All by Lantern Light Step back into the Victorian era and experience the Villa Montezuma Museum as its original owner, pianist and spiritualist Jesse Shepard, intended—by the soft glow of lantern light. This special nighttime tour offers a rare opportunity to explore one of San Diego’s most stunning historic homes in an intimate setting. With its richly carved woodwork, vibrant stained glass, and evocative ambiance, the Villa is more than just a preserved mansion—it is a reflection of a moment in time when art, belief, and mystery intertwined. Led by historian Charles Spratley, the tour delves into: - The life and legacy of Jesse Shepard - The cultural and philosophical roots of Spiritualism - The role of music, mysticism, and interior design in Shepard’s world - A historically accurate discussion of séances, mediumship, and metaphysical exploration This is not a ghost tour. The Villa Montezuma is considered by many to be “enchanted” rather than haunted, and this experience reflects that distinction. It is a reverent look at the past—not sensational, but deeply atmospheric and enlightening. Visit: The Villa Montezuma Spiritualism Lantern Tour Villa Montezuma Museum on Facebook
