Greetings Fellow Creatures of Earth! I'm Chris Hansen, your host for the KPQ Morning Update and Jack-of-all-radio-trades at Townsquare Media in Wenatchee, Washington. I'm a broadcast media veteran who thoroughly enjoys his work and strives to make a positive impact on the world every time I take to the airwaves. In my spare time, I like to write, draw and podcast. I also love immersing myself in philosophical thought to mixtapes of cheesy rock music on long drives to nowhere in particular - I'm a silent marauder of the long and endless highway! I am also fond of animals and stargazing, and I love chasing thunderstorms when the opportunity presents. And I still collect CDs and vinyl records, as well as clever talismans from forgotten antique stores and really cool shoes. I look forward to being with you on the radio very soon...
