Tim O'Brien and Washington State Poet Laureate Tod Marshall visit Spokane Public Radio

Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They Carried, Going After Cacciato, and If I Die in a Combat Zone will be at Gonzaga University today for the Visiting Writer Series. 

Mr. O'Brien spoke with Verne this morning about the writing process in a fascinating conversation.

Tim O'Brien will present at The Hemmingson Center on the Gonzaga Campus this afternoon at 1:10 p.m., in the Auditorium, and this evening in the Ballroom at 7:30 p.m. For more information, check the SPR Community Events Calendar or Gonzaga University.  

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.
