SEATTLE — Evening's hosts Saint Bryan, Kim Holcomb and Jim Denver share what they can't get enough of during the week.
Saint
Season 2 of "Foundation" is based on a series of novels by Isaac Asimov. First of all it is a spectacle of special effects. It is way above what you might expect in a streaming series but more than that it is super smart, action packed and infectious. If sometimes it seems like I'm not hanging out with you it is because my brain has traveled 12,067 GE as in the Galactic Era.
Kim
They have NPR news but they also have blues and jazz and I really do love it. Jim was shocked that I listened to it because we've known each other all this time and he had no idea that I loved jazz.
They recently moved into a new studio space near Pike Place Market thanks to support from listeners. They raised nearly $6 million in a fundraising campaign and the new studio is going to give them additional tech and space for live musical performances which can be recorded and shared on YouTube. If you want to check out their new digs they are holding an open house on Saturday, August 26, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with food, drinks and special appearances.

They just played to a sold out Seattle crowd a few days ago, it was really a great show. They are fronted by Eugene, Oregon's Michelle Zauner, who says that Seattle's one of her favorite places to play and there's some fascinating history here.
A few years ago at the Crocodile, a band member jokingly presented a banana to the audience. It got passed around the room and when it returned to the stage, it was an orange -- like a magic trick!
So now every time they come to Seattle, someone passes an orange up to the stage, sometimes multiple oranges or other various fruits. It is all part of what makes a Japanese Breakfast concert in Seattle something to rave about.
