Forty five years ago, an orca named Lolita was captured in Washington State waters and taken to Florida to be put on display. Stranger Editor Christopher Frizzelle is on the show this week to explain why Lolita needs to be returned home now, and what he discovered about the amazing culture and brains of Puget Sound orcas as he was reporting this in-depth feature on one killer whale’s plight. (Also discussed: why humans are the worst.)
Then we hear from Mark Putnam, director of All Home, about the latest plan to fight homelessness in King County. The last big plan—a “Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness”—obviously didn’t work. What’s the new, better idea? Putnam explains.
Plus the music of Yellow Ostrich and the band Tomten, which is playing at EMP on Saturday, October 3!
