KIRO Radio Rundown: Trump tests positive

Oct 6, 2020, 10:17 PM | Updated: Oct 7, 2020, 9:03 am

The KIRO Radio Rundown is the only show that collects the takes from each KIRO host on the biggest stories of the week and puts them in one place. From John Curley to Dave Ross, Dori Monson to Gee Scott; the entire political spectrum in 10 minutes or less. Released Tuesdays and Thursdays by 7 p.m.

President Trump tested positive for the coronavirus right after we uploaded last Thursday’s episode. That means we’ve got a backlog of four days worth of takes from KIRO hosts to go over in this one.

John Curley feels like Trump is becoming more and more like a boring TV show character. Dori Monson says the media is intentionally misunderstanding Trump’s rhetoric. And Ursula Reutin is worried we’re not tracing enough of Trump’s contacts.

Listen to more episodes of the KIRO Radio Rundown.
