Short is a funny thing to put before mentioning Walter Jones - he's a big man. We're the same height and I could easily hide behind this wall of muscle and stuff great for building a wall! It’s tough not to over do it when someone so kind and humble comes in, but it’s the tales we tell of times past that propel the future into the right direction - Walter Jones played an entire career in Seattle as a Seahawk with skills and hustle so strong he’s enshrined in the pro football hall of fame - such ...

Walt is the newest host on 107.7 The End!

What a great addition to The End. Enjoy this talk and enjoy Walt weekdays 3-7p.

I met Hannah when following up with Brian Morris (ep 86) with a visit to ZakLabs - a creative workspace for cos-play. An array of humans were cutting, painting, forming, and laughing as they sculpted designs for an upcoming convention. Now, RenCon is just around the corner and Hannah came in to talk about her process for making a wild variety of costumes from Hiccup (How to Train Your Dragon) to Nova (StarCraft), learning everything from scratch, and what the world of cosplayers looks like for w...

Barns Courtney has roots here in Seattle but he has grown and that brain of his is quick! We jump right in and things get naughty right out of the gate, so, put on your adult ears... you've been warned. Our shirtless wonder will answer the important questions: Is it as small as they say it is? Where are all your muscles? Was that smell you?? See Barns in October at Neumos!

Mike is not only a veteran of KGRG, host of the Mike Siebert Radio Podcast, but he's also crazy about Transformers - like travel to Toronto to go to a Transformers convention.

Everything I knew about Joe (J GRGRY) I learned from Twitter and one episode of Locals Only that he joined Steven Graham for at 1077 The End. Shirtless, covered in pink paint and makeup, he had my attention, but in a very specific feeling of intrigue. Joe is someone I wanted to be around, his music something that made me want to be even closer. This guy is a sweetheart but with a tale that feels as dark as the part of your heart that you don't share with anyone.

He's the former host of the Offspeed Podcast and we've been going back and forth for a year until he's finally here now to do Our Dumb Podcast... only this is So, You're In Seattle... awkward. We dive into the world of insane baseball statistics and talk a lot about how hard it is to get on stage and make something of yourself in local comedy - something Casey is tackling at Tacoma Comedy Club!

From the ashes of bands like Girl on Fire we see the genesis of GOLDNWOLF a trio of musicians all from a shared background making new music in the darkness of the longest Seattle winter ever. Employing a different approach, these gentlemen are releasing the songs as their ready starting with just a solo single, "Lone Wolf". Understand how their previous successes and setbacks fueled them up for this new project shines light on what it's going to take for a band in Seattle to make another run of ...

When you cross paths with someone who has lived a career that keeps that magical creative spark alive, it's important to take a moment to savor the experience. Brian makes his career as a photographer, but his passion is for designing costumes, props, and more for conventions (including one he helped start, Renton Comic Con). He hosts monthly building sessions out of his massive workshop in Renton, Zaklabs, where fellow con lovers can assemble to work on their sweet costumes. This is an interest...

We slumbered way down in the dark depths of Key Arena where a sea of hard working people, wires, and expensive equipment all have to come together to make four dudes (and a couple friends) look great on stage. There Gregr got to sit down with a dude who's toured the world playing music for decades: Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Roger Bennett had nothing by wonderful things to say about Seattle, the Sounders, and more Seattle with a visit to 1077 The End this morning. Here's our conversation minus the f-bomb I let slip at the end :D

Donna is one of the fine nerds responsible for OrcaCon - a huge tabletop gaming fest happening 1/13-15 in Everett! As a nerd myself, I had no idea how out of my depths I would be when talking about the immense world of social gaming. Fantastic.

An artist who works in pencil, he's Keegan Hall. While art should be left to stand as expression, when collaborations with guys like Kam Chancellor or Macklemore and Ryan Lewis show up, it’s time to take notice in what a person is capable of achieving and who they can move. He’s as humble in his delivery as he is able with graphite on paper.

The resurgence of vinyl records not only makes music collecting cool again, but it's also inpsired people like Shawn and Taylor to make art from LP's. They've started a company, Skylinyl, combining the worlds or vinyl and skylines. It's a fun talk about how art inspires art and how to make a living without having to be MC Hammer selling mixtapes from your trunk.

Mike Jungers family business involves talking... talking super fast. They're auctioneers, and while we just make chicken noises with the occassional number in there like idiots in parody of their jobs, auctioneers have tons of nuance in their rattling calls. Mike helps me understand what goes in to selling stuff for people.

Alyssa, dressed in mid-summer flannel, is one of us! She's new on The End, but not new to hiking around in our forests, taking wiggling dogs to the dog park, or getting fired up about a Temple of the Dog reunion tour. Unlike most of us, she knows how to drive in the snow! Get to know her here.

Adam gave me my first demonstration on how live streaming internet works when covering local sports. Bootstrapper Studios are partners with Seattle Sounders, Seattle Reign FC, and more, but he wasn't always the sports enthusiast his business has taught him to be. Like any good pokemon, he's evolving!

These two dudes are Seattle entreprenuers with a million ideas on how to make money AND the willingness to get it done. I first caught Mike on KIRO 7 debuting the Package Guard - a device to deter package theft from your front porch. These dudes have great energy - it's not wonder they get stuff done.

RC is one of the two organizers for Seattle Ska Fest 2016. He and Jesse picked up the reigns after the Seattle music community lost Greg Gibson at the beginning of the year.

Longtime Seattle resident/soccer fan, Matt Johnson, steps into an opportunity of a lifetime for anyone who's dreamed of calling play by play sports as he steps up to the mic to handle broadcast duties on the FM dial in 2016.
