How cooked is Mike Gundy

The @kuow.org Book Club is reading "Transplants" by Daniel Tam-Claiborne this month 📚 Halfway through, I have some thoughts about the characters' struggle with identity, the role of COVID, and the role men play in the story.

Washington officials are reacting to news of Charlie Kirk's death, broadly condemning political violence. My report for @kuow.org:

Hey @kuow.org listeners! Show your love for public media by joining our Fall Fund Drive 🎉 We depend on you, so give at 206-543-9595 or 👇

The Jaipur Literature Festival is returning to Seattle this month. I got a preview from Executive Director Alka Kurian for a ~bonus~ episode of @kuow.org's Meet Me Here 👇

Look I’m mad at the Gators, too, but all this negative talk on @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social After Dark is starting to personally offend me. Feeling like chomping out of sheer spite.

Well at least I can rely on one of my teams today… Go Dawgs 💜

The @kuow.org Book Club and @spl.org concluded our summer reading series with Lynda Mapes, and what a conclusion it was! Thank you to everyone who came out for our most engaging live event yet, and an extra thank you to everyone at KUOW and SPL who made this partnership a success 💙📚🤓

Passed my private investigator exam last night, so y’all may now address me as Detective Campbell. I will also accept Katie Poirot 🕵🏼‍♀️

Literally letting a dog call Belichick's first game in CFB now.

I was worried for a second that this wasn’t going to keep being hilarious.

Have we learned our lesson about coach hype? Maybe? Anybody?

Update: fury

for what it’s worth Bill’s worst loss with the Patriots had a final score of 38-3

I’ve never been happier whilst having to hear Bill Belichick’s gd name every 10 seconds.

welcome to the big leagues billy b

Well that's a halftime adjustment

THATS WHATS UP TCU!!!

Has Bill Belichick ever felt an emotion?

Frogs on the board

Reporting from a Horned Frog household today, y’all. Anxiety is high, but I’m putting all my annoying Florida Gator energy into trying to change that! 🐸

Notre Dammit

LETS GO FOOTBALL!

This is the problem with being the guy after The Guy, guy.

We’ve got sharks vs gators in Gainesville.

I know this game doesn’t really matter, but I do love to see my Gators on the board in, like, record time 🐊

Man, I can’t wait for Texas to visit the Swamp in October 🐊

Have you been in a bit of a reading rut this year (or this lifetime)? Well, I called up my dear friend Stesha at @spl.org for a few tips on how to get back in the groove 👇

"Old trees matter. It is here that wildlife finds refuge, in the nooks, crannies, and caved-in nest cavities and cool ferny glades of their understory." The @kuow.org Book Club is halfway through Lynda Mapes' "The Trees are Speaking," and it is just lovely! Check out my first thoughts 👇

I’ve missed you football 💜

You know why the twist ending of Ascension was so bad @hollyanderson.bsky.social? Because he STOLE IT from HARRY POTTER 🥴 “I am Lord Voldemort,” anyone? Subpar plot twist then, subpar and derivative now.

Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif was killed in an Israeli strike, while he and other journalists were inside their tent

I talked to Seattle horror author Isabel Cañas for @kuow.org's Meet Me Here, and she shared this advice for new horror readers: Don't start with the scariest stuff out there (like @sgj.bsky.social, who gets a level 5 from me)! Here's a menu of books with varying degrees of spooky spice 👻

Top officials in Seattle tried to sound an optimistic note today, after early results in the Aug. 5 primary election showed them trailing their more progressive challengers. Here's what they had to say to @kuow.org.

Early takeaways from tonight's primary election from the @kuow.org team 👇

The @kuow.org Book Club and @spl.org summer series concludes this month with Lynda Mapes' new book “The Trees are Speaking: Dispatches from the Salmon Forests” 🌲 Get the reading schedule + RSVP for our live conversation at the Seattle Central Library on August 27 👇

Hey, Seattle readers! Meet me at the Central Library Wednesday night for a conversation with Kim Fu, author of "Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century." We'll explore the inspiration behind these short stories and share questions from the audience. See you there!

this story has everything from - a “realtor and dj” who says he’ll be there for after parties - a guy who called it a good date spot - a person who says she wants musk to take her to mars - and a $17 (rubbery) hot dog

Head to the Central Library on Wednesday, July 30 for an amazing conversation between @kuow.org's @katiecampbell.bsky.social and author Kim Fu, whose book of short stories "Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century" is KUOW's July Book Club pick! Find out more here: www.spl.org/event-calend...

More than 2,700 people have showed their support for @kuow.org already today! I don't have the words to thank everyone who is standing up for public media across the country. We truly cannot do this work without you 💙 #supportpublicmedia

Congress has cut federal funding for public media, putting your access to local news and programming at risk. This is the moment to join our community of supporters. You’ve depended on KUOW and NPR across the decades. Today, we’re counting on you. bit.ly/3UgOIc9

Hello just wanted to say: Public media is a useful public good. It is a source of great local news at a time when local news is being decimated. Also, in my 10 years in public media, I can say people who work here do it because they believe in the mission of informing people. Just noting.

The rescissions bill will claw back $1.1B in previously approved spending for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which contributes funding to NPR, PBS & hundreds of local stations throughout the country. The money was slated to cover the fiscal year set to begin Oct. 1 and the following year.

Hot take alert: "I think the books that people read on light rails aren't actually what they're reading." Elliott Bay Book Company's Sofia Brekkan calls y'all out on today's episode of Meet Me Here from @kuow.org 👀

PSA: Kim Fu's "Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century" is everything a speculative fiction fan could want and more. Allow me to explain 👇 #kuowbookclub

So stoked that I got to talk to the author of one of my favorite books for @kuow.org's Meet Me Here! Sequoia Nagamatsu's "How High We Go in the Dark" is a masterpiece. We talked about the things that inspire him and how writers often don't read as much as they say they do 👀
