    I've been looking for a good local news podcast and was pleasantly surprised to see the latest episode was a recording of the visit from the big dig podcast. I was so disappointed to miss it in person, thankful to find it here!

  • Renewed spirit

    I just listened to the episode on Jazz in Portland, and I have to say, it has renewed my spirit! After moving cross-country to Portland in 1996, I reveled in getting to know my new home. The pandemic, however, was followed by a sense of loss for my city. This episode, and my regular listening to Portland’s Jazz radio station, are bringing me back. Thank you!
