From MF Doom to John Prine, the Four Songs That Define Luke Burbank’s Portland

Longtime radio host and podcaster Luke Burbank shares his personal history in Portland through the lens of four songs, part of a series on City Cast Portland that we’re calling Portland Mixtapes. Luke has been the host of the syndicated variety show Live Wire Radio, a frequent panelist and guest host of Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, and a correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning.

We made a Spotify playlist of favorite Portland songs, crowdsourced from our listeners and guest mixtape picks. You can listen here.

We’re doing a survey to learn more about our listeners. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey — it’s only 7 minutes long. You’ll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card – and City Cast City swag.
