The Playlist (WDSE)

Since 2010 The Playlist has featured over a thousand local and regional music acts as well as people and events in the arts community. "The PlayList is a community stage where we share the talent and perspectives of a wide range of artists--its music, art & theater and community. It’s a document of the creative work being made in the region and an accessible, online archive of what is happening," stated Karen Sunderman the producer of the show. They've done a terrific job staying on top of showing area viewers the best new music and art happenings and are showing no signs of slowing down, "the show continues to improve as a quality production. The sound is great thanks to Jake Larson’s ninja mixing and it looks great thanks to Steve Ash’s masterful editing. (An opinion supported by three regional Emmy nominations for the show last year.) Our music guests get great energy thanks to dozens of people who come to the in-studio sessions. The poll results, readers of The Reader, and WDSE viewers, drive our commitment to presenting the arts in the Arrowhead region with the highest quality program possible. Thanks for the boost!"
