Like many of you, KNKX reporters and staffers are working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. We're going to check in on them to see their home workspaces that allow us to bring you jazz, blues and NPR news. A thread.

Producing radio from home is tricky work. For good sound quality, it's helpful to have a lot of clothing or blankets or other material that won't echo. For some reporters like @KariPlog, that means the best place to record is a closet full of clothes.
South Sound reporter and host of the Outsiders podcast @OtherWillJames uses the same tactic.
Youth and education reporter @ashleykgross built a blanket fort to record in.
It doesn't always take such efforts. Environment reporter @KNKXBellamy has built a mini studio with her couch and a yoga mat.
All Blues host @johnnykradio has quite the setup for cranking the blues. (Listen to the blues with him Saturday and Sunday nights from 6 to midnight!)
Director of Major and Planned Giving Kari Young sets up shop with two delightful and adorable co-workers.
All Things Considered host @edronco has built a very nice work space off his kitchen.
Of course, sometimes we do have to be in the studio. Morning Edition host @KNKXKirsten snapped this selfie while working from the Seattle studio. (Note the trusty Clorox wipes.)
And @paige__hansen (12 to 3 on Midday Jazz) has a similar photo from her Tacoma studio. It's hard adjusting to a quiet space when you're used to the hustle and bustle of a busy radio station.
Let's get back to home workspaces. Here's @poseygruener working from her kitchen table.
And Director of Content @mattmdm built a workspace in a great sunny spot.
Here's @Kevin_Kniestedt keeping an eye on the news while he works.
