Meet Me Here
Meet Me Here is your podcast guide to the most exciting arts and culture events in Seattle. In each episode, we’re fighting the freeze and meeting you around the region for art shows, concerts, author talks, geeky get-togethers, and more. There’s a lot to do in this region, so let’s make some plans and go experience it together. HOSTS Jeannie Yandel covers arts and culture events. Jeannie's goal is to get you out and about in the city's arts and culture scenes, especially stuff that's free or inexpensive or doesn't make your typical critic's list. Katie Campbell covers Seattle’s literary scene, including visiting authors on tour, local writers, and maybe even cozy places to read in and around Seattle. Katie is your book club bestie, here to help you build community around reading. Dyer Oxley covers pop culture and how it intersects with life in the Puget Sound region. We’re a geeky place, and Dyer will dig into the conversations and debates overheard at local comic-cons, movie theaters, and happy hours with your friends

Before the bestsellers, before one of her bestsellers became a movie, before Meryl Streep (!) played her in that movie...author Susan Orlean started her career in Portland, writing for the Willamette Week and the now-defunct Paper Rose.

“There’s no right or wrong way to look at art,” according to arts writer Jas Keimig. Which is good news because there’s a lot of art at the Telephone exhibit at both locations of Base Camp Studios in Belltown.
Jas explains how the exhibit was inspired by the kid’s game telephone, that game where you tell someone something and then they tell the next person and so on. When the final person ...

There’s no getting around it. It’s here … the big dark. Every year, Northwesterners battle with shorter and shorter days, and longer and longer nights. It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s dark. It’s kind of a bummer. But it doesn’t have to be!
All three Meet Me Here co-hosts join forces to share suggestions for defeating the Big Dark by getting out and immersing yourself in some great lo...

So what can be done to get more local productions off the ground? Well, we’ve got a few film experts on the show today to div...
