Dan Savage is on Blabbermouth this week talking about the tip and how to use it. Kathleen Richards is on, too, talking about risk-shifting in restaurants. And former Seattle mayor Mike McGinn is on as well. He says he can kinda identify with Kshama Sawant these days. She got in trouble this week for not being Seattle nice enough with her council colleagues. “They’ve never liked Kshama,” explains McGinn. (He also has some interesting things to say about who’s getting what done on the council, and about Tim Burgess‘s “patronizing” talk of needing “adults in the room.”)
We also hear the former mayor’s take on May Day and the line police should draw when responding to protesters. And finally, Sean Nelson, author of a book on Joni Mitchell, explains why she’s so important, and why rumors of her being in a coma blew up the internet this week.
Plus! The music of iji, which Emily Nokes calls a “dance-pop project that will keep you in the deepest groove.” They’re playing on Saturday at the Monkey Pub.
