It’s getting harder and harder to talk about politics, especially if you disagree. Well, screw that.

How would you explain Seattle and its current political landscape to an outsider from the Midwest?
@RealSeattleNice got a chance to try our hand at explaining Seattle to Terry White, who runs the excellent Better Minneapolis local news site and podcast on Substack, and who was in Seattle last week as part of a tour of West Coast cities he's doing for the @Mpls_Times online new site. Fun convo, one where we got to sing Seattle's praises, along with acknowledging our challenges:

Will the city's ongoing crackdown on drug users make it harder for a new overdose recovery center to succeed?
Tune in to hear @ericacbarnett and @skaushik100 agree, then disagree, then agree again (!) on this week's episode of @RealSeattleNice.

This week on @realseattlenice, we discuss the Seattle Chamber's annual poll, which I argue serves two functions: Producing talking points for the Chamber (people want the city to "live within its means"!) and as a general gauge of voter vibes.

On our midweek Seattle Nice minisode, we discuss the tentative police contract, which includes wage hikes that would bring officers' starting salary to six figures—and that's before overtime, secondary employment, and bonuses are factored in.

I really miss the invaluable, in depth muni governance coverage that @SCC_Insight provided, and the important watchdog role that Kevin Schofield played. So it's great to see this super informative dive into the City's budget woes from Kevin. MORE, PLEASE!

I am very reliably informed by Chartable that @RealSeattleNice is now Mexico's 137th most popular politics podcast. That's right, take a well deserved bow @ericacbarnett and @hyded, our little podcast has made the big time!
To our dedicated listener(s) in Mexico, thank you!

Oh the horror! The shame! Why? Why? Why?
In what I sincerely hope is our last discussion of THE SCANDALOUS APPOINTMENT OF TANYA WOO!!!, on @RealSeattleNice we debate if it was a sham process and done deal from the get go. Unsurprisingly, we don't agree. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Predictions, and more ‘24 predictions! We also did predictions for Seattle’s future in our “Rockin’ New Year’s Eve Special” episode of @RealSeattleNice.
Which will all (no doubt) turn out to be wrong. But hey, getting it right isn’t really the point. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… – at Seattle, WA

Big thanks to Patricia @RadioGirlMurphy and Vaughan @vjonesradio for having @ericacbarnett and I on KUOW's Seattle Now Casual Friday to talk Seattle (and Burien) election results and (more importantly) why Thanksgiving is the greatest holiday!

On @RealSeattleNice this week, @ericacbarnett, @hyded and I dissected last week's Seattle City Council primary results. This one goes longer than usual (54 mins) - that must mean we had lots of incredibly important and insightful to say! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

In a new "doubleheader" episode of @RealSeattleNice, @ericacbarnett, @hyded and I talk All Star Week, completely coincidental(!) Sodo RV/encampment clean ups, and whether the City's overly fixated on the game. Plus we assess the bellwether D4 Council race. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
