The host of KEXP's "Audioasis," KFNK's "Garage Monkey" and until recently the author of the critical blog "You Deserve the Truth," Lisa Wood is much beloved by readers; her win in this category places her atop a formidable field of talents, including KEXP cohorts Michele Myers and John "In The Morning" Richards. It's not hard to see why -- she's a strong booster of local music, a sworn enemy of corporate hegemony and a friend to Listeners Like You.
