The armor we choose: A short story based on the series The Lost Years
Harsh fluorescent tubes buzzed an unrelenting 60-hertz hum against the drop-ceiling of Cloud Medical Center. Midnight in the emergency room offered no reprieve. Scrubbing her raw hands with antibacterial foam, 27-year-old surgical resident Iris Min stared at the stainless-steel basin. The water ran hot enough to scald. Bracing her forearms against the sink’s edge, she ignored the leaden ache anchoring her lumbar spine. Her father’s timeline demanded absolute perfection. Promotion to attending physician by a

D.W. Hamilton delivers a delightful mystery novel complete with poetry and spells
The subtitle of D.W. Hamilton’s compelling, surrealist debut novel tells us that it is a supernatural murder mystery, and the cover notes that it contains 23 poems and 6 spells. Those few hints, along with the cover art. might be enough to draw you in, but the author’s foreword, explaining how he deliberately mixes surrealism into a mystery genre novel, should give you a pretty good idea of what’s to come. And Hamilton delivers. The (frankly terrific) poems serve as introductions to each chapter, and the sp

Queer zines making a comeback in Seattle; A history of counterculture, connection, and liberation
Before social media and the internet dominated nearly every facet of modern life, Queer people had very few outlets to express themselves authentically. In the realm of print media, there weren’t many public forums in which to discuss queerness besides the SGN and other LGBTQIA+ publications (that had op-ed and classified sections). Today, in line with Gen Z’s emerging neo-luddite movement, many younger Queer and Trans people are turning away from algorithmically curated and monitored digital spaces (that a

Your Guide to July 2026 in Seattle
Today on the show, host Jane C. Hu is joined by producers Ashley Smith, Sam J. Leeds, and Liam Billingham to discuss all the best things to do in July. Liam requests recommendations for day trips on the ferry, and the team delivers: from a popsicle stand on Vashon to one square inch of silence in the Hoh Rain Forest. Plus, they discuss summer hikes, including the gorgeous turquoise Diablo Lake and Jane’s tip to check out hidden gems in Teanaway. Then, Sam gives a history of the surprisingly chaotic origins of Seafair, including literally setting ships on fire in Elliott Bay. Liam asks the great philosophical question of our times: can a rave be in the morning if it hasn’t started the night before? And finally, everyone runs through the month's best events like free movies at Northwest Film Forum, a fashion show on decommissioned railroad tracks, a 206-mile bike ride to Portland, and a dance night for the Swifties.

42 Years of The Wildrose, King County's Unsheltered Homelessness Surge, and Listener Mailbag
Today on the podcast host Jane C. Hu is joined by guest Rachel Karp, creator of the podcast Cruising and author of The Lesbian Bar Chronicles, along with producer Sam J. Leeds to dig into a savvy real estate decision that’s kept The Wildrose – one of the oldest lesbian bars in the country – operating for the last 42 years. Rachel also shares the storytelling event they’re hosting at the Rose on July 12. Then Jane and Sam are joined by contributor Guy Oron to talk about King County's latest Point-in-Time Count, which counted more than 18,000 people experiencing homelessness in one night. Guy explains the complicated bigger picture, what the data says, what it misses, and the $67 million in federal funding on the line. Finally, Jane digs into our listener mail bag to share some shoutouts from City Cast Seattle neighbors, and discuss a new plan to close the Burke-Gilman Trail’s missing link through Ballard.

World Cup Pride Protests, Montlake’s Plan for Permanent Affordable Homes, and Jane’s Three-Ferry Century
Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by contributors Marcus Harrison Green and Brett Hamil to discuss the record-setting attendance at the Juneteenth World Cup event last week and the more contentious collision of Pride weekend with the Egypt-Iran match — two countries where being queer can mean facing prison or the death penalty. Then, a proposed Seattle City Council bill could turn a former SR-520 Bridge staging area into permanently affordable homes priced starting at $250K. But who actually qualifies? And Jane wonders, can nonprofits be trusted to manage this land for decades? Finally, the three talk about weekend plans ranging from seeing Supergirl in theaters, a magazine launch party, and Jane’s three-ferry century bike ride. Oh, and if you’re a City Cast neighbor, it’s bonus segment day! Jane is joined by producers Liam and Sam to discuss a new robot built by a Seattle startup that “wants to be your kid’s classroom buddy and your mom’s new friend.” Tune in for a discussion that ranges from the Disney Channel Original Movie Smart House to intergenerational relationships and transhumanism.

Today on the pod, host Jane C. Hu is joined by regular contributor Chase Hutchinson and newsletter writer and journalist Harry Cheadle to talk about the latest strikes at The Walrus and The Carpenter and Hilton Hotels, including the very unusual decision for management at the Ballard spot to drop anonymized compensation for some of their workers.

Finally, the trio talks about a medley of news, including record Lime scooter rentals last weekend, Katie Wilson meeting with the Seattle film commission, and updates on park rangers at The Enchantments this summer.
