Punch & Judi Show: Judi Bari interviews Utah Phillips on KZYX FM in Boonville, California - December 27, 1996
Show Notes by Nicholas Wilson:
The show begins with issue updates on salmon, Geronimo Pratt case, pagan poetry, Judi talking about the winter solstice and Christmas, Judi bestowing a Scrooge Award on LP for cancelling year end bonuses.
The main segment with Judi in conversation with Utah Phillips is very enjoyable and entertaining. Utah traveled with Judi to Berkeley the day before she was bombed.
