Loving Soundside
I am so glad KUOW created this unique show. The topics and guests are so interesting, especially to us here in the PNW. So glad to have the podcast for when I miss it live. Thanks!
Push back
If you are going to interview public figures, like Mayor Bruce Harrell for the episode on art vs graffiti, don’t just give them an open mic. The interview did not have any follow-up questions or real push back on the mayor’s assertions or points. Sure you opened up with some voices from the local art community, but where was that perspective in the interview? Disappointed.
My fav
