BMC 80th Anniversary

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel looks in the past and future of Freighthouse Square in Tacoma with Tacoma historian and historic preservationist Michael Sullivan, and with Sound Transit public information officer David Jackson.

As reported last week by multiple media outlets in the Puget Sound area, Freighthouse Square is likely to be demolished or radically altered sometime in the next few years. The structure, originally built for railroad purposes by the Milwaukee Road, stands in the way of new facilities planned by Sound Transit, the agency working to bring a light rail connection to the City of Destiny in the next decade.

CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Podcast Thursday - Today in Music History 070325

Paul Kelly is a professional certified medical illustrator working in Toronto. The Medical Illustration Podcast is an audio resource for those interested in the field of medical illustration, featuring interviews with seasoned professionals.

L.A. Theatre Works records plays live in performance. We stage our shows in an audio-friendly format, so actors speak directly into microphones while we add sound effects and music to create an immersive audio experience.

We've recorded over 500 plays in this way - everything from Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde to Arthur Miller and recent Tony winners - and turn the recordings into podcasts, streaming audio, radio shows, and CD’s, so you can listen to great theater anywhere.

Because of our unique format, we attract a lot of top-name talent: our actors have included Chris Rock, Bobby Cannavale, Jane Kaczmarek, Kathleen Turner, Simon Helberg, Amber Tamblyn, Dana Delany, Stacy Keach, Jon Hamm, Matthew Rhys, Alfred Molina, Jonathan Groff...and an ever-expanding list of stars from TV, stage, and film.

CASCADE OF HISTORY is the only LIVE radio show presenting news and stories about people doing cool things with and for history in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. We talk about people, artifacts, places, landmarks, public lands, state and national parks, trails, highways and the historic events that can bring us all together.

The show is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time on SPACE 101.1 FM (and streaming via http://www.space101fm.org ) from studios located on the shores of Lake Washington in historic Magnuson Park in Seattle, former site of Sand Point Naval Air Station (though sometimes CASCADE OF HISTORY originates from remote locations around the region). The podcast feed consists of the weekly broadcast, plus frequent bonus episodes with timely and topical interviews, vintage local audio or other Pacific Northwest history-related content - and sometimes even BREAKING NEWS.
