Ep. 75: Northwest Radio - Past, Present and Future

On this summertime edition of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present audio from "Evergreen Radio: LIVE," a special event focused on the past, present and especially the future of radio in the Pacific Northwest. In this archival panel discussion, a group of radio professionals from around Washington weigh in on where the medium had been and where it was headed in 2015. Panelists include Ricardo Garcia of Radio Cadena; Jeff Hansen of KUOW; Tom Mara of KEXP; LPFM advocate Sabrina Roach; Dave Ross of KIRO Newsradio; and Kerry Swanson of NW Public Radio. The event was co-produced by CASCADE OF HISTORY producer/host Feliks Banel and Olivia Weitz. It was taped before a live audience at the Richland, WA campus of Washington State University on April 25, 2015 - Ed Murrow's birthday - and was a project of the Edward R. Murrow College, with financial support from Humanities Washington. This episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally broadcast at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, September 1, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
