    We have a small election coming up, so here is your small-ish episode about what people in Olympia will have to vote on.

    I also want to apologize for the quality of the audio on this episode. It by no means the fault of our producer, Jemmy Joe. Emmett depends on dumb internet tools and had some real trouble with connecting for this episode.

    Download the episode

    With a large right wing protest planned for the Capitol Campus this weekend (Saturday, March 5), it is a good time to check in with David Neiwert. David is the expert on far right militants in the Pacific Northwest. We talked to him in 2020, and this episode takes off where that one left off. He gives us an update on what has been going on with right wing militants and protest groups and what we can expect this weekend.

    Episode 66: Who are the people with guns

    David is an author of several books, but my favorite remains “Death on the Fourth of July.”

    #91: Facing Racism at Capital High School Feb 18, 2022
    Show notes

    Just over a month ago, a racial slur shouted at a River Ridge High School basketball player spread over social media, and then into the mainstream. This incident laid bare a series of similar incidents at Capital High School. We sat down with the organizers of a recent walk out to protest the official reaction to this and other incidents.

    You can learn more by watching their 20-minute documentary on the aftermath of the racist abuse, or follow their Instagram for updates.

    The student journalists at KOUGTV have also been doing a great job covering this story. Check out their archives for multiple interviews from students and administration.

    #90: Special Bonus Election 2021 Episode: Wendy Carlson and Sarah DeStasio! Oct 27, 2021
    Show notes

    We decided that two elections episodes were better than one! We sat down with Wendy Carlson and Sarah DeStasio, who were involved in the Primary Election and had unique perspectives on the choices voters have in the General. Both also represent different lanes in how candidates are lining up. We referenced this post on how candidate contributions are shaping the election for city council.
