In partnership with

Bing Crosby Advocates

Good morning, Spokane!

On this day back in 2001, Apple unveiled the first iPod, promising "1,000 songs in your pocket." It’s a bit funny to think about now, when our phones hold 1,000 pictures of the Monroe Street Bridge, 500 screenshots of things we forgot to buy, and maybe two podcasts we're actually caught up on.

In today’s Spokane Pulse:

  • The magical music of Harry Potter

  • A massive fall craft fair

  • Celebrating a Spokane music legend

  • Gonzaga's next basketball star

Let’s get to it.
