Clare McGrane
Senior Producer
About
Clare is the senior producer for Seattle Eats with Tan Vinh, a food podcast from KUOW and the Seattle Times. She shapes the show from story selection to sound mixing, and works with the host and editors to bring a diverse set of guests on mic and engage with the show's audience.
Prior to Seattle Eats, Clare helped develop and produce the region's premier news podcast, Seattle Now. Her coverage spanned a variety of topics, but she specialized in covering the COVID pandemic and reporting on local governments. Before joining KUOW in 2018, Clare covered the health sciences beat at GeekWire, where she also produced the outlet's podcasts.
Clare grew up between the Seattle area and her family home in Ayrshire, Scotland. She graduated from the University of Washington in 2016 with a B.A. in Creative Writing and Journalism. Outside of work, Clare spends her time crocheting, bouldering, and playing a kind-hearted (if not very smart) Rider of Rohan in her Lord of the Rings roleplaying game campaign.
