Marcie Sillman

Marcie Sillman has been with KUOW since 1985, when she arrived to take over production of the daily interview program Seattle Afternoon. In her 17 year tenure at KUOW, she has hosted All Things Considered, spent two years as KUOW's News Director, and helped create two of KUOW's signature local programs. Dave Beck, Steve Scher and I launched Weekday, initially designed to focus on Public Affairs, Arts and Local News. Two years ago, she and Dave Beck took on the challenge of creating Seattle's only locally produced and broadcast arts interview program, The Beat. In 2002, she decided to re-focus my efforts on arts and cultural reporting. Her stories have been broadcast on KUOW's Morning Edition and The Beat, and can be heard nationally on NPR's magazine programs.
