The KISW family was left heartbroken late last night when we learned of the passing of one of our family, Kevin Diers. The long standing host of Metal Shop and Loud & Local left us with so many memories of his positivity, passion, and infectious attitude. He's missed already
05-08-25 full Thursday show. We play Big Dummy, sample Ted's Meat and Potatoes, and toast a passing in the KISW family.
Kevin Diers was an announcer and engineer here at KUOW. You could hear his work all over the station, behind shows like Morning Edition and All Things Considered. He had a big footprint in the radio and music scene here in Seattle, for many years: Kevin was a long time host of Metal Shop and Loud and Local at KISW. On KISW’s Instagram page, the band The Home Team wrote: "Kevin was the biggest supporter of local bands and music... He put us on when no one else would, and consistently uplifted the local scene with Loud & Local. He will be missed.” Kevin was also part of the team at DEFY wrestling, a Seattle-area pro-wrestling promoter where he hosted a DEFY podcast. Kevin was a gentle soul. He was kind and built community wherever he went. And he leaves a huge hole in our hearts. We miss you, Kevin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
