Jim Kershner, who writes for The Spokesman Review, came to talk with Verne today about tomorrow night's Spokane Trivia Championship competition. The Championship will take place at 7:00pm Thursday, September 24th at the Bing Crosby Theater. Tickets are available at the door or online at TicketsWest. Doors open at 6:00pm, and the proceeds benefit Learning and Literacy for Spokane Public Library.
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.
