ABOUT THE REGULARS


Different backgrounds. Different corners of the Northwest. Plenty to talk about.Longtime friends who spent nearly nine years living in the same Seattle building, Mike and Randy are still comparing notes, asking questions, and occasionally wondering what the hell happened around here.

HOST · SALEM, OREGON

Best-selling author, former #1 rated radio DJ and program director, writer, and business owner. A PNW resident for more than 30 years, Mike has spent much of that time asking questions, telling stories and occasionally questioning the answers.

RANDY BRINKER

CO-HOST · SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

Former tech executive turned candy shop owner, Randy runs the popular Sweet Mickey's in Ballard. A longtime Seattle resident active in the local business community, he's seen the Northwest from both the corporate boardroom and behind the candy counter.
