Mission Statement:
Soundside believes establishing trust with our listeners involves taking the time to listen.
We know that building trust with a community takes work. It involves broadening conversations, making sure our show amplifies systemically excluded voices, and challenging narratives that normalize systemic racism.
We want Soundside to be a place where you can be part of the dialogue, learn something new about your own backyard, and meet your neighbors from the Peninsula to the Palouse.
Together, we’ll tell stories that connect us to our community — locally, nationally and globally. We’ll get to know the Pacific Northwest and each other.
What do you think Soundside should be covering? Where do you want to see us go next?
Leave us a voicemail! You might hear your call on-air: 206-221-3213
