I love this podcast!
I have been listening to it for 2 years now it is very light hearted and funny and still covers heavier topics.
Love the quick blurbs every day of local happenings, but my favorite is Casual Fridays. They have fun while poking fun at quirky Seattle issues. Keep up the good work!
