After 18 years, KWMR’s Original Minds radio show, which aired every other Saturday, ended in June, wrapping up an era of West Marin interviews skillfully rendered by host Elia Haworth. “There’s just amazing minds around us, amazing innovations, and people have such diverse expertise,” Ms. Hawo.” Ms. Haworth interviewed a wide array of individuals, from lawyers and doctors to farmers and surfers. Among them were Anthony Wright, a Chinese philosophy scholar and piano tuner from Inverness, and Judith Lowry, a native plant gardener in Bolinas. One of her favorite interviews was with Dr. Aenor Sawyer, an orthopedic surgeon at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, who was part of a project to test Bolinas residents for Covid-19 early in the pandemic. Ms. Haworth said that although her interviewees’ expertise was always impressive, what often interested her the most was their background. In an interview with Lewis Watts, a photographer who co-authored a book about the San Francisco jazz era, she reflected on this curiosity. “I’m always interested in, when I do these interviews, seeing the threads that run through people’s lives, how sometimes there is a direct thread and sometimes it’s just different doors opening at a different time,” Ms. Haworth said. Her conversation with Mr. Watts delved into his parents’ experiences as part of the Great Migration from the South to other parts of the country and the significance of Black culture in San Francisco’s Fillmore district.  Station manager Amanda Eichstaedt said Ms. Haworth brought out the best in her guests and took special care to plan each show. “She does a lot of preparation,” Ms. Eichstaedt said. “She basically interviews the people before she interviews them on the air.” Ms. Haworth said she was asked to continue her show during a different time slot, but her schedule didn’t align, so she decided to retire it. (Saturday mornings will now feature new Spanish-language programming.) Ms. Haworth grew up in Washington State and has lived for 50 years in West Marin, where she practices art in a variety of mediums and works as the Bolinas Museum’s curator of coastal Marin art and history. She stumbled into her radio show when her friend Cariadne Margaret Mackenzie-Hoosen asked her to cover for her interview show, then called Artifacts, while she went on sabbatical in Switzerland. When Ms. Hoosen returned, she was too busy to continue the program, so Ms. Haworth changed the name to Original Minds and made it her own. She said the show allowed her to explore her curiosity about people. “If the listener is curious and attentive, every person has something to share and teach us,” she said.
