    Stop Surveillance Seattle by Sept. 9 (Feat. BJ Last & DivestSPD)

    Tell us a secret! Oh hai Burner Babes. We're gabbing this week about how only stupid, ugly people want to install surveillance cameras around our city. Mayor Bruce Harrell has decided that the Seattle Police Department needs literally more than 365 cameras across the city, a move that will threaten the safety of immigrants, people seeking abortions, and anyone in Seattle unlucky enough to be caught on grainy camera feed near the scene of a crime. On the couch to talk about this is BJ Last, from Stop Surveillance City, and returning guest Justin Ward, head of DivestSPD. Reminder that to stop Seattle morphing into the panopticon, submit a public comment by Sept. 9.   News | The Burner Seattle

    Can Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell Retain His Parking Spot? Feat. Stephen Paolini

    Tell us a secret! Welcome back Burner Babes!  Your hosts Ashley and Hannah are thrilled to be joined by, once again, Stephen Paolini, our on-call consultant and the string-puller behind Progressive People Power PAC (P3). As you already know, progressives had an outstanding showing in the recent primary election. But ever the devil's advocates, the girls (and Stephen) discuss Mayor Bruce Harrell's (narrow) path to victory, Claudia Balducci's odds (high) at the King County Executive job, and other random hot takes about the election along the way!  News | The Burner Seattle

    Summer is for Landlords & Regressive Taxes

    Tell us a secret! Oh hiiiiii! We're back. This week we're talking about City Council Member Rob Saka shirking his duties and hiding in his office and the King County Council's decision to tax poor people in order to fund the services that land them in jail. Hannah says "Fuck off" a lot, and Ashley rants about crime statistics... again. We find a new friend for one fight, King County Council Member Regan Dunn.  News | The Burner Seattle

    Can Seattle Replicate Zohran Mamdani's Win? Feat. Stephen Paolini

    Tell us a secret! The Burner gals are joined by Progressive People Power PAC (P3) consultant and all around cool guy Stephen Paolini to talk about Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani's blow out victory over the Democrat establishment in the New York City Mayoral primary and what lessons Seattle can learn from it! Key take aways: The Democracy Voucher program (which we still like) prevents candidates from raising enough money to execute as sophisticated of a communications strategy as Mamdani did, NYC progressives did not give Cuomo the political cover that Seattle progressives are giving Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, P3 most likely won't spend in the mayor's race this year, and Ashley called Harrell daddy...  Also: You should certainly still RSVP for The Burner's candidate forum Yes And The Vote on July 10 doors at 630pm News | The Burner Seattle

    We Hardly Knew You, Cathy Moore / Adam Smith is Only in his 20s

    Tell us a secret! Oh hay friends. For the Pod this week, Ashley Nerbovig and Hannah Krieg talk about Cathy Moore's resignation from the Seattle City Council and run through her greatest hits in her brief reign. Was she really an evil corporate shill, or just evil? Also, former lone socialist on Seattle City Council Kshama Sawant wants to head to the OTHER Washington. She plans to challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Smith for his seat.  Smith has taken to attacking so-called “new Left” extremists, saying Democrats are failing to govern well because they’re too focused on “concepts like ‘settler colonialism’ instead of on more immediate problems in people’s everyday lives.” So, the Burner gals play a game of "Who said it, Adam Smith or a Generic Republican?"
