Did that New Yorker article about “The Earthquake That Will Devastate Seattle” blow up your nice, calm summer, too? A lot of us at The Stranger were feeling freaked out about that piece, so I invited Seattle Times science writer Sandi Doughton, a local earthquake expert and the author of Full-Rip 9.0, to tell me just how terrified we should really be. Doughton also describes what she’s keeping in her earthquake kit these days and explains what to do when the shaking starts.
And Rich Smith is back on the show to catch us all up on the latest batshit comments from Donald Trump and to tell us what he learned while reading Harper Lee’s “new” book, Go Set a Watchman. (Which is really an old, old manuscript that was initially thought of as just a failed early attempt on Lee’s way to writing her classic, To Kill a Mockingbird.) If you’re wondering whether you should read Lee’s “new” book or just pretend you read it, Rich has the answer. Plus the music of Ephrata, a local band playing the Capitol Hill Block Party on July 24!
