RANGE Media’s Luke Baumgarten and Erin Sellers pay attention to news in Spokane and the Inland Northwest so you don’t have to.

Starting November 7th, join them Thursdays at 3 pm for a round-up of the serious (and not so serious) local news of the week, behind the scenes drama at public meetings and deeper dives on important stories with the journalists who broke them.

All of that — and probably more! — Thursdays from 3 to 4 pm on KYRS Thin Air.
