Radiolab Live: Apocalyptical
Robert Krulwich, Jad Abumrad
Cataclysmic destruction. Surprising survival. Radiolab turns its gaze to the topic of endings, both blazingly fast and agonizingly slow, in its live show Apocalyptical. With their signature blend of storytelling, science, and music, hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich romp through hundreds of millions of years of history to arrive at the end, again and again. Comedians Reggie Watts and Kurt Braunohler join the party, while musicians On Fillmore and Noveller create a cinematic live score before your eyes. Recorded live on stage in Seattle.

Wilco: Live from Columbia City Theater
Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt
It was an afternoon of contrasts when Wilco performed for a packed room of KEXP donors at Columbia City Theater on August 10, 2015. You've never seen a sold out show so quiet, so reverently enraptured, as the band presented song after song in their set, ranging from old favorites to new singles from their recent surprise full-length, Star Wars. But once each song ended? The roar of applause was deafening, and the love from fans so intense, that even frontman Jeff Tweedy seemed taken aback, lowering his hand jokingly at the audience to get us to stop cheering. But no one could resist singing quietly along with the Woody Guthrie track "California Stars," uniting the entire room in song. It was a beautiful moment, encapsulating what brought us all together that day: raising funds for KEXP's New Home, so we can continue to enrich lives with "music that matters."
