5. KPLU Blows Its Horn
KPLU celebrated its 20th Anniversary of Jazz with 26 enthusiastic "jazzoids"! And where did this happen? Where else but down in New Orleans where jazz took root. We attended not only the Jazz & Heritage Festival, but visited both Snug Harbor (the city's version of Seattle's "Jazz Alley"), House of Blues and spent an entire evening listening to great piano jazz - everything from Marcia Ball to Dr. John and Jon Cleary.





4. Cuba In-Depth
Cuba in Depth, with Paula Wissel, KPLU's Law and Justice Reporter, as one participant stated "It was an incredible experience for me . . . one that I will never forget. The experiences we had were truly unique compared to the travel I have done in other countries. . ."
