A few years ago, I really started listening to Spokane Public Radio and NPR. I was impressed with the balanced, in-depth news coverage on all sorts of issues, local or global. I was exposed to bands like Airborne Toxic Event. And I was informed about community events happening right here in the Inland Northwest.
I felt immediately at ease when I was introduced to Shelley, Patrick, and the rest of the SPR staff. Everyone was so laid back, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Right away I felt I could work with these fabulous, intelligent people on promoting public radio in my hometown. Unlike many other media sources, SPR isn’t as influenced by money or politics—something that, I think, is becoming more and more important in our world.
As a certified English teacher, I’ll get to do a lot of writing for SPR, not only for Making Noise, but for on-air scripts as well. I even got to record some audio today! I look forward to learning a lot about marketing and production—skills I hope I can take with me wherever I go next.
If there are any questions I can answer about KPBX, KSFC, KPBZ, or our upcoming pledge drive, please let me know in a comment. I will try to answer as best I can!
