Welcome to Made for Music! Today\u2019s friend of the podcast hails from Mason City, Iowa. From a young age she was an \u201cArchaeological music digger,\u201d spending many late nights watching MTV sessions. She escaped the cornfields for college in Minneapolis where she got involved with the college radio station, and went on to book shows and write for various music publications.\xa0
\n
\n\n\nAfter a detour to Glasgow, Scotland, she became a true marketing/PR hustler at Saddle Creek Records. During her time overseas she was interviewing new Scottish bands for Radio K, writing for The Pop Cop, and that, ladies and gentleman, is just the prelude.\xa0
\n
\n\n\nShe landed in Seattle just over four years ago, working at Sonic Boom Records, and immediately began volunteering at KEXP on the Morning on Mondays, while also interning with the Business Support and Underwriting Department. This led to her OWN SHOW every Wednesday. So, please welcome \u2013 the host of Variety Mix on KEXP \u2013 the manager of Actors and Tiny Deaths, Abbie Gobeli.
