From the Studio: Author Anthony Marra

Today Verne welcomed award-winning author Anthony Marra to the studio to talk about his book The Tsar of Love and Techno.  Marra is in town for two events today, October 27. He will be at the Spokane Valley Event Center at 1pm and the Bing Crosby Theater at 7pm. The Tsar of Love and Techno is the 2016 Spokane is Reading selection and was featured recently on Spokane Public Radio's The Bookshelf.  More information can be found at http://spokaneisreading.org/.

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
