    A live Q&A with SPS Superintendent Ben Shuldiner

    Ben Shuldiner just hit 100 days in his role as the superintendent of Seattle Public Schools.... and he’s had to tackle some pretty big issues in that short window.   Like a budget deficit, which could be as much as $100 million. And student safety, after two Rainier Beach High School students were shot and killed at a bus stop in January.  And screen time in the classrooms (Shuldiner recently implemented a new cell phone policy limiting student screen time during the school day) Shuldiner sat down for a live interview to answer a whole bunch of questions from us here on Soundside and from our listeners.

    Hear It Again: What are your rights if Border Patrol wants to search your phone?

    If you’re planning to head across the border to Canada for a weekend trip this summer, you've got to pack the essentials. Keys, wallet and of course your phone. But you may want to also consider something new – who might want to take a look at that phone as you cross the border. Last fiscal year, Customs and Border Protection reported a 16% increase in searches of digital devices compared to 2024. Should you expect your phone to be searched at the border? And what steps can you take to protect your data? In February, Soundside broadcast a conversation with New York Times reporter Gabe Castro-Root and talked about some of those questions.

    Remembering the OG OMG: Operation Mother Goose

    Spring is here which means a malignant force is around us, stalking our parks, beaches and grassy medians.  I’m talking about the Canada Goose. You turn a corner and you see two geese and small goslings. They hiss, they honk, they’re aggressive, their poop closes Lake Washington swim spots and, I hate to implicate you, but they are here because of us. Western Washington wasn’t home to abundant year round Canada Geese until the mid to late 20th century. Humans purposefully moved them here in an operation dubbed “Mother Goose.”  Guest:  David B. Williams, author and historian of books like Wild in Seattle: Stories at the Crossroads of People and Nature and the newsletter The Streetsmart Naturalist Relevant Links:  History Link: Operation Mother Goose begins to distribute Canada geese across the state starting on April 11, 1968 The Street Smart Naturalist: Operation Mother Goose Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    In ‘The Life We Leave,’ human composting and grief from an Auburn funeral home

    In 2019, Washington became the first state in the country to legalize human composting as an alternative to burial and cremation. That same year, entrepreneur Micah Truman founded Return Home, a funeral home that built the world’s first large-scale human composting facility in Auburn, Washington. A new documentary tells the story of how Truman, who set out to disrupt the funeral industry for profit, discovered meaning in this new vision for death care.

    Yesterday, we spoke with KUOW reporter Anna Boyro Weyrauch about the social media maelstrom that has taken over Seattle. I am talking about the drama between the Laurelhurst neighborhood and Seattle Children’s Hospital over helicopter landings.  When we talked about this yesterday – we were curious to hear how the whole saga had unfolded from the perspective of someone living in Laurelhurst. Did the average resident even know about this policy? How did they feel being at the center of the online firestorm?Well, I asked for feedback and you delivered.  Relevant Links:  KUOW: How online scrutiny is changing Seattle Children's and Laurelhurst's helipad policy Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    Microsoft set ambitious climate goals. AI is making them hard to meet.

    In 2021, Microsoft set an aggressive emissions goal: 100 percent of its electricity would come from renewable sources or be matched by zero-carbon energy purchases, 100 percent of the time. This was a big pledge – one that went farther than its existing net-zero emissions goal. But a lot can change in six years … Now, the company appears to be weighing a retreat. According to recent reporting by Bloomberg, Microsoft is considering delaying or dropping its 100 percent renewable electricity pledge because of energy intensive data center build outs. This isn't the only scaling back the company has been doing with its carbon goals. GUEST: Alastair Marsh LINKS: Microsoft Reconsiders Clean-Energy Pledge Made Harder by AI How Microsoft Spooked the Global Carbon Removal Market Microsoft will be carbon negative by 2030 6 projects that helped Microsoft meet its renewable energy goal Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!
