The Podcast is back after a long (and maybe, not so productive) sabbatical. Goldy and friends open up the 'cast with a discussion of the Obama tax
compromise cave-in, described by one panelist as the“worst messaging disaster…in a long time.” After some major meandering and bitching, Goldy seamlessly segues into levy equalization for Washington State. The panel imagines ways to give Red Washington the government they voted for.
The podcast plows into a deep issue: What does it say about Seattle that 3 or 4 inches of snow invokes “soul searching?” Or is this simply a pathology of a certain Editorial Board (member). Naturally this raises the question, should Goldy run for City Council in 2011? From local politics to an international man of mystery, the panel tackles the ethical, political, legal and corporate revenge ramifications of the Wikileaks leaks for publisher Julian Assange.
Goldy was joined by
Peace Tree Farm’s N in Seattle,
Effin’ Unsound’s &
Horsesass’s Carl Ballard,
DailyKos uber-blogger Joan McCarter, and Seattle
Drinking Liberally co-host Chris Mitchell.
The show is 48:48, and is
available here as an MP3.
