Soundside&nbsp;is a production of KUOW in Seattle, a proud member of the NPR Network.

Every week we talk about the most fascinating stories in the news and what they say about the Pacific Northwest. We call it Front Page.

Front Page: Mayor Wilson making policy waves, DHS funding is still up in the air, and Venezuela stuns in the World Baseball Classic 

Listen up food lovers (or KUOW lovers….. You can hear this one, too).

KUOW’s Seattle Eats podcast has a new host. The show covers Seattle’s food scene and digs into topics like the cuisine at the Seahawks’ Lumen Field… the mortadella sandwich renaissance ….   and the skyrocketing price tag for coffee. 

The show has also gone beyond Seattle, taking listeners to explore Bellevue’s Chinese food scene. And bar hopping in Tacoma. 

Now, though, there’ll be a slightly new flavor (ba dum tss), because Brandi Fullwood is taking over hosting duties from Tan Vinh. She sat down with Soundside to talk about stepping into the new role.

Guests:
Brandi Fullwood, the host of Seattle Eats.
