Seattle Nice

It’s getting harder and harder to talk about politics, especially if you disagree. Well, screw that. Seattle Nice aims to be the most opinionated and smartest analysis of what’s really happening in Seattle politics available in any medium. Each episode dives into contentious and sometimes ridiculous topics, exploring perspectives from across Seattle's political spectrum, from city council brawls to the ways the national political conversation filters through our unique political process. Even if you’re not from Seattle, you need to listen to Seattle Nice. Because it’s coming for you. Unlike the sun, politics rises in the West and sets in the East.

    Dan Savage and the Blue City Blues podcast preview

    Erica’s out this week, so we bring you a preview of a new podcast called "Blue City Blues."

And he got his wish. Over the last two decades, rural places got redder and urban areas much bluer, and America’s...
