MCDM Director Hanson Hosein and Ross Reynolds, an MCDMer and host of KUOW’s The Conversation, will discuss the future of communication and news during a Fireside Chat at the Sorrento Hotel on Monday, Aug. 17.
You can watch the video here.
In its heyday, the Fireside Room at the Sorrento Hotel served as a civic hub, where thought leaders convened to exchange ideas about the arts, culture and politics, and the community gathered for music performances and poetry readings. As part of ongoing programming to celebrate its centennial, the Sorrento is collaborating with Reynolds to hold a series of monthly Fireside Chats.
The public is welcome to attend the free chats, which will be taped and then excerpted for broadcast on KUOW the next day. The event will be held at 6 p.m., Monday, Aug. 17 in the Sorrento’s Fireside Room, 900 Madison St. Reserve free tickets by e-mailing fireside@hotelsorrento.com.

Very cool, congrats!
I still think a regular internet fireside chat video series is a great idea–leather, house pipes, accents, cordiality, etc…

I’d like to see Ross walk in, take off his jacket and street shoes, put on a cardigan and sneakers, and sing “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.”
Okay, off to RSVP now.
