From the Studio: Tod Marshall, Washington Poet Laureate

Verne talked creativity with Washington state poet laureate Tod Marshall in the studio this morning!  Friday evening at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, Marshall will be moderating "The Muse, the Angel, and the Duende" - a panel of prominent artists who will discuss the creative process. The program begins at 6:30pm on Friday, December 2 at the MAC and will include painter Mel McCuddin, printmaker Mary Farrell, singer/songwriter Liz Rognes, fiction writer Shawn Vestal, and musicians Himes Alexander and Matt Slater. More information available at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
