The Northwest is no different. The Olympia Symphony called on the grandson of one of its first music directors to write a piece for its 65th anniversary season. Jessie Jacobs sat down to chat with Austin Schlichting about his homage to the Olympia Symphony and his grandfather’s legacy. Listen to their conversation

Goodbye Truth, Politics and Power  (We Hardly Knew Ye ) I t is with much regret that we bid goodbye to Neal Conan’s weekly conversation that helped demystify the changing landscape of American politics.

Donating A Car to Keep Great Programs Running A note from longtime supporter J. Michael Short .  In January, I donated my 2004 Toyota Corolla to NWPB so it can continue its lifelong tradition of helping inform the public. I bought it from the original owner, a photo editor at the San Antonio Express-News. I used it as I traveled South Texas completing freelance photo assignments for various news publications. So, the best thing I could do once I no longer needed that car was to donate it to support Northwest Public Broadcasting!
