I’ve been starting my mornings with KEXP‘s John Richards for years. His blend of music challenges me and connects to my musical tastes deeply. I love exploring the new, but not ignoring the past. There are days that his playlists connect with the music I first fell in love with as a teen. And then he’ll connect with a series of great new artists. Oh, and they do a marvelous job keeping connected with Seattle’s vibrant music scene, bringing great local arts key exposure (ever heard of some guy named Macklemore?).
I can’t imagine not having these folks part of my life. I’m richer.
