Oregon Public Broadcasting

Do you love radio the way other people love art or television?

Then maybe an event Saturday in North Portland, is for you.

It’s called ‘The Back Room’ and it’s an evening focused on sound and great radio.

Michael McMannus, the Reed College student who organizes the event, and the special guest of the evening, Julie Shapiro, joined me earlier in OPB’s studios. First I asked Michael to explain just exactly what ‘The Back Room’ is.
