    Booms, Busts, and Billionaires

    It’s the final episode of the season! There’s no denying it: Seattle is a tech city. After Microsoft moved to the Pacific Northwest, the Seattle area became a hub for computer and internet tech start-ups in the 1990s. Some saw incredible success, while others just weren’t able to survive. We’ll be looking at the 90s-era and contemporary tech booms, and the effects that large companies like Amazon and Microsoft have had on Seattle. Plus, hear from special guest Naud Frijlink, Principal Design Manager at Microsoft, about what it’s been like working in the sector across multiple decades and cities. Show notes and transcript available on our website.

    A Place of Escape

    Since the 1970s, Capitol Hill has been a home for the LGBTQ+ community in Seattle. Over the decades, LGBTQ+ businesses and services have both contributed to gentrification and been at risk from it. Learn about what it took to grow and build a supportive district for Seattle’s LGBTQ+ residents, as we explore the relationship between place and community. Hear from special guest Ken Shulman, Executive Director of Lambert House, about where queer youth fit into this history and the importance of the neighborhood to the organization.   Show notes and transcript available on our website.

    I Need the Volume Higher

    We hope you’re ready to rock, because this episode we’re diving headfirst into the 1990s Seattle music scene. From grunge, to riot grrrl, to hip hop, learn about how these young artists put Seattle music (and its style) on the map at the same time the Teen Dance Ordinance made all-ages shows nearly impossible to produce.    Our special guest this episode is Tova Gaster, director of outreach for the TeenTix New Guard, Teen Editor with the TeenTix Press Corps, and avid all ages show-goer. Transcript and show notes available on our website.
