The Headliners Gala is a celebration of the best of the Northwest’s community and culture and a benefit to support Cascade Public Media, the organization behind Crosscut and KCTS9! This year’s very special gala will feature a culinary tour of the region, curated by some of the premier chefs and restaurateurs in Washington state. We will hear from keynote speaker Michael Barbaro, host of the New York Times' wildly popular podcast The Daily.

Michael Barbaro hosts The Daily, a five-day-a-week audio podcast from The New York Times. In its first year, the show built an audience of over one million listeners a day.
