  • Truly Balanced

    Libby has a respectful ear to her guests. I value her ability to listen and pose thoughtful questions that broaden my perspective and seam closer the divide. Her professional ability to articulate and gather ideas without offense should be methodically taught across NPR’s journalism.

    I return to Sound Side for the balance.

  • Brian Heywood is a bigot

    Thanks for holding the facts up to him and questioning his underlying assumption that trans people are worse than cis people. He’s a grifter, a fear-monger, a liar, and a bigot.

  • Unfortunate they are covering national stories and lack rigor

    Do we really need kuow’s take on google’s ai synopsis in search results? Do we need them discussing palestine? Why retread ground the NYT and BBC cover with far more resources and access?

    What we need is for kuow to cover solutions for our broken school system, solutions for bike and pedestrian mobility, solutions for the homeless crises, solutions for downtown office vacancies. Keep it local please!

  • wow. No problems with the interview but I wanted to look up the name of the guest in the book the guest had written and there seems to be no show notes at all. Not even the most basic information such as the name of the guest. Wow.

  • 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.
