BONUS ENCORE: 2025 Listener Favorite - KNX News Coverage of LA Wildfires
This BONUS ENCORE of CASCADE OF HISTORY was one of our LISTENER FAVORITES in 2025: when Feliks Banel spoke with Alex Silverman of KNX News 97.1 FM, the legendary commercial newsradio station in Los Angeles, about the station's coverage of the January 2025 wildfires in Southern California. Silverman was serving as Director of News and Programming in January 2025 when a series of devastating wildfires struck Southern California. During that time, KNX provided its listeners with some of the best live and local radio coverage in recent memory for a stretch of nearly two weeks. While Southern California is outside of CASCADE OF HISTORY’s typical geographic area, the lessons learned and advice Silverman offers is well worth a listen. Following the interview, we hear a sample of KNX coverage (which Alex mentions in the conversation) from KNX News 97.1 FM reporter Nataly Tavidian. This conversation was recorded in May 2025. CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via flagship station SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org. The radio station broadcasts from studios at historic Magnuson Park – located in the former Master-at-Arms’ quarters in the old Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle. Subscribe to the CASCADE OF HISTORY podcast via most podcast platforms and never miss regular weekly episodes of Sunday night broadcasts as well as frequent bonus episodes.
