Hosts
John Oberg
Host
John has long had an interest in media production putting together projects for family and friends. When the opportunity came along to produce a podcast, he readily accepted. This eventually led to transferring to radio on KXRW where he hosts and still produces Filibusters as well as being Vice President of the station.
Dr. Donna Sinclair
Host
Donna Sinclair is an educator, an author, a former school board member, and a mom. She previously managed the Oregon Historical Society Oral History Department and has run multiple oral history projects in the region. Sinclair, who teaches Public, U.S., Gender, Environmental, and Public History, has written extensively for NPS, worked with local museums and regional tribes, and provides oral history training to organizations. She is excited to facilitate a different kind of storytelling over the air waves in the metro region!

Our Start
Filibusters originally started out as a podcast called Unfiltered Radio doing something like our current format but without the time constraints of radio. When we were approached by KXRW to join their programming we knew we had to do two things: create a catchy new title and get a great first guest. We eventually settled on Filibusters as that title had political significance and relayed the fun nature of the hosts. And, our first guest was none other than the mom in tennis shoes herself, Washington Senator, Patty Murray.
