Cynthia Lair, Sourdough on the Rise

Sourdough is the kind of food that takes warmth, time, patience: perfect winter occupation. If you’ve never made it, cookbook author Cynthia Lair has you covered with her new book Sourdough on the Rise.

Night Shift: Disco rideshare

Late night rideshares, especially the pools, are a crapshoot. Will you be stuck with the loud sweaty bros coming back from a pungent night’s drinking? If so, take heart: in one driver’s car, you might end up bonding over karaoke. Reporter Casey Martin has the story as a part of KUOW’s Night Shift project.

J.A. Jance, Sins of the Father

If you follow the work of local mystery writer J.A. Jance, you’ll know that fictional Seattle Police Detective J.P. Beaumont is retired. But in her latest book Sins of the Father, he’s pulled back in for a case that quickly becomes personal.

Laura Da', Pain Scale Treaties

Writer Laura Da’ just won the Washington State Book Award for a collection of poetry called Instruments of the True Measure. But she’s also an essayist. Bill Radke spoke to her about her piece in the recent anthology Shapes of Native Nonfiction, entitled “Pain Scale Treaties.”
