Nathan on NPR: III

7/9/2019

Did you miss Wednesday's broadcast? It's all here. Host Deborah Wang and I chat about "who (really) rides the bus" in Seattle, and so much more. Click here for KUOW's page with a link to the full radio hour (fascinating stuff!), as well as a direct link to my piece; scroll down for my segment.

Huge thanks to everyone at KUOW who put this together, to you who stop by the site and take an interest, to Metro for letting me be me, and to the peeps out there for being exactly who they are.

Enjoy!

I heard this by chance, wondering, what's that familiar voice, to my delight it was you!
