    Discovered Hacks & Wonks in August and have listened since. Excellent information and background on King County and state issues. ThanksMay 2023: I just finished listening to the podcast with Mike McGinn and Robert Cruikshank discuss with Crystal the Seattle waterfront and their stories about the issues and the consequences of decisions that were taken over a period of years. Fantastic to hear honest talk.

  • One of the best (if not the best) local politics podcast in Washington

    Crystal Fincher is amazing. She is regularly interviewing guests that everyone NEEDS TO HEAR FROM that are often not featured on other news shows. She has amazing commentary, does in-depth interviews of candidates, and plus on great forums come election season. more

  • The podcast I didn’t know I needed

    I recently found this podcast after hearing Crystal on KUOW’s Seattle Now. The episodes I have listened to so far have blown me away in the depth of the discussion and analysis. Crystal is an excellent interviewer in addition to providing expertise on a range of policy issues. more
