- Another Seattle politics podcast
One business-interest lobbyist, one blogger who’s committed to the brand, and one pretty decent moderator, giving armchair analysis and creating content from whatever their sources at City Hall scraped together this week. Your mileage may vary

Apple Podcasts5Cloncurry KidUnited States3 months ago - I listen for Erica’s contributions
Erica, thank you for insisting on journalistic investigation, facts, and reality. Sandeep, your inflammatory statements about “wokeness” and “the deep state” have no place in adult conversation.

If you’re going to listen: Expect liberal-moderate misinfo from Sandeep, populist progressive-ish disinfo from Erica, and reporting with a modicum of moderation from David
Apple Podcasts2MidBunnyUnited States9 months ago - Eric’s is intolerant
I thought Erica’s sniping at Sandeep for using the term “gender critical” was very intolerant. Are we not to question the sanity of people who literally feel they were “born in the wrong body”. She can get away with calling people like me “TERF” yet I do not aim to deny trans people the right to exist nor am I a “radical feminist “. There actually is nuance to this situation and there should be dialogue not name calling. And by the way I am a liberal Democrat.
