You’ve heard his smooth and reasonable voice on National Public Radio; now local listeners get a chance to hear — and see — On Point host Tom Ashbrook up close when he comes to Spokane as part of his ongoing “Listening to America Tour.” Although the event, hosted by Spokane Public Radio, is sold out (having been rescheduled from a May date), you’ll still get a chance to hear the special program during On Point’s Sept. 25 broadcast. A panel of local experts join Ashbrook on the Bing’s stage for a discussion on climate change and the growing number and intensity of wildfires in the West. These guest panelists are Peter J. Goldmark, former Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands, Spokesman-Review columnist Sue Lani Madsen, and Cody Desautel, natural resource director for the Colville Confederated Tribes.
