The Team
Scott Leadingham, Producer/Host
I grew up in the Grand Coulee Dam area (Go Raiders!), backpacking in the North Cascades and Okanogan Highlands as a Boy Scout. And, yes, I drive a Subaru.
Growing up here for 40 plus years I think I’ve seen my fair share of things in this part of the country, my family farms in St. John, Washington, my wife teaches in Spokane, and I work for public broadcasting in Pullman.
Not growing up in the Northwest, it’s sometimes hard to understand where people are coming from when they say, “it’s always been like this.”
Having grown up in Hawaii, it’s tough to know where the Inland Northwest has been and why “things are done this way…”.
