Recently, I held a panel discussion called “AI and the Arts,” featuring Gonzaga professor Charles Lassiter, vocalist and multidisciplinary artist Madeline McNeill, and symphony concertmaster Mateusz Wolski. Listen to these notable locals wax philosophical as you go about your day!

The title of tomorrow’s DOGE subcommittee, led by Marjorie Taylor Green, is “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the Heads of NPR and PBS Accountable.”

If you want to draw any historical parallels, that’s your prerogative.

I interviewed filmmaker Stimson Snead about his feature film Tim Travers and the Time Traveler's Paradox, coming to SPIFF this March and streaming platforms this Spring. Lots of shout-outs to Spokane creatives! Listen for industry insights.

I interviewed author Neil Shubin about his recently published book, ENDS OF THE EARTH. We talked about science communication in 2025, what we can learn from the polar regions, and the implication for our planet.

I had a conversation with CST’s Chuck Ethridge and Shoshana Rubli about what it takes to operate a summer theatre year-round, their ambitious Musical Theatre Training Institute, and how they pick their seasons.

Have a listen!

Troy Nickerson and Chris Jensen, co-founders of Theater on the Verge, join me in the studio to discuss their new theater company. Subjects include their inaugural production, Every Brilliant Thing, what makes them care about a script, and the mysterious "page three."

Folks from Stage Left Theater joined me at SPR to discuss Minister of Sorrow by Pam Kingsley, opening this Friday, December 6th. We talk about the power of books, resilience amid poverty, and the traditional music of Appalachia.

(Your listening supports banjos and horses.)

Check out my interview with the directors of A Christmas Carol, for which I also wrote the incidental music.
