25. “From Nirvana to Political Revolution” with Krist Novoselic

Saison 3 · Épisode 5

vendredi 27 mars 2026 • Durée 24:07

In this compelling episode of The Informed Citizen, host Philip Lindholm sits down with Krist Novoselic, the co-founder of Nirvana, to explore how the same spirit that reshaped rock in the 1990s might help reshape American democracy today.When Nirvana released Nevermind, it disrupted a stagnant music industry and gave voice to a generation that felt ignored. Novoselic believes something similar is happening in politics right now. Voters feel unheard. The system feels closed. And the political center is disappearing. His response is not to complain, but to build.As the founder of the Cascade Party in Washington State, Novoselic is attempting to create a new path forward for voters who feel politically homeless. Drawing on decades of experience in both music and civic life, he offers a candid critique of a system driven by outrage, performance, and polarization. This is not a typical political conversation. It is a deeper exploration of culture, identity, and what it takes to disrupt a system that no longer reflects the people it serves.Episode Highlights• Why Krist Novoselic says modern politics feels like “ugly Hollywood”• The origin of his political activism in Washington State• What the Cascade Party stands for and why it rejects ideological extremes• The real consequences of one-party dominance and political polarization• Why voters across America increasingly feel politically homeless• How third parties can influence major elections even without winning• The role of outrage, anxiety, and performance in today’s political system• The surprising story behind his brief presidential candidacy• The connection between authenticity in music and authenticity in politics• What it means to create a “new political sound” in AmericaWhy This Episode MattersThis episode goes beyond politics as usual. Krist Novoselic brings a rare perspective shaped by global cultural influence and grassroots political experience. He understands what it means to break through noise and speak to something real. In the same way Nirvana offered an alternative to what felt artificial and overproduced, Novoselic believes voters today are searching for something more honest, more grounded, and more connected to real life. The question is whether a new political movement can do what Nirvana once did in music. Disrupt the status quo and create something people actually believe in.Listen and SubscribeSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-informed-citizenApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-informed-citizen/id1738680188YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdscEVf-gjkiNh9YK-0yYiTZN7usLZ4CRConnect with UsWebsite: https://theinformedcitizen.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drphiliplindholm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drphiliplindholmCreditsProduced by Philip LindholmMusic: “This Party Bussin” by Sound and VisionThis podcast is for informational purposes only and is not professional advice.

24. "The Common Ground Nobody Talks About" with Assessor-Treasurer Marty Campbell

Saison 3 · Épisode 4

samedi 3 janvier 2026 • Durée 35:31

Drawing on more than a decade in local and county government, Marty Campbell offers rare insight into how policy is actually made and a truth hiding in plain sight: While politics grows louder and more polarized, there is still far more common ground than we are led to believe. We just don’t talk about it.As media rewards outrage and division, Campbell argues that the real danger facing democracy is not disagreement. It is the disappearance of the shared civic space where reasonable people once met, learned, and governed together.🔍 Episode Highlights📰 The quiet collapse of trusted mediaCampbell explains how the loss of fair and impartial local journalism has stripped communities of a shared set of facts, leaving citizens divided not just by opinion but by reality itself.⚖️ Tribal politics and fractured identityFrom left to right and everywhere in between, American politics has splintered into factions that talk past one another. Campbell explores why this makes governing harder and trust rarer.🏛️ What government is meant to doIs government supposed to judge morality or make life work better for everyone? This episode explores a vision of governance focused on removing barriers, expanding opportunity, and treating people fairly.🧠 Equity, equality, and opportunityWhy treating everyone the same does not always lead to fairness and how thoughtful policy can level the field without erasing responsibility.🚌 Big ideas grounded in realityFrom free transit to childcare and education, Campbell does not reject ambitious ideas but insists they must be tested honestly, locally, and pragmatically.🗳️ Why debates feel emptyScripted talking points, avoided forums, and soundbite politics have replaced real dialogue. The result is voter frustration and growing disengagement.🏠 Raising informed citizensOne of the episode’s most hopeful moments centers on families voting together, modeling civic engagement, and teaching children that democracy begins at the kitchen table.🤝 The common ground nobody talks aboutRoads, safety, opportunity, dignity, fairness. These shared values still exist, but they do not drive clicks. This episode asks what happens when agreement becomes invisible.This episode offers something increasingly rare. Hope grounded in realism.Subscribe, share, and keep the conversation going, because democracy depends on the common ground we choose to stand on together.Listen & SubscribeSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-informed-citizenApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-informed-citizen/id1738680188Watch the Full VideoYouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdscEVf-gjkiNh9YK-0yYiTZN7usLZ4CRConnect with UsWebsite: https://theinformedcitizen.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drphiliplindholm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drphiliplindholmCreditsProduced by The Informed CitizenMusic: “This Party Bussin” by Sound and VisionThis podcast is for informational purposes only and not professional advice.

Saison 3 · Épisode 2

jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Durée 33:38

In this powerful episode of The Informed Citizen, Dr. Philip Lindholm sits down with Pierce County Prosecutor Mary Robnett. Robnett is the county’s top legal officer and the first woman ever elected to the position. She gives a behind-the-scenes perspective on the state of justice in America today. From skyrocketing property crime and the fentanyl crisis, to juvenile violence and eroding public trust, Robnett opens up about the hardest questions facing prosecutors everywhere: Are we still a nation guided by the rule of law?

21. "Why Young Voters Don't Show Up" with Anders Ibsen

Saison 3 · Épisode 1

lundi 13 octobre 2025 • Durée 30:30

Why are so many young Americans tuning out? Host Philip Lindholm sits down with Anders Ibsen, a real estate professional, community leader, and former Tacoma City Councilmember, to explore one of the most urgent crises in American democracy: the political disengagement of young people. From the collapse of civic institutions to the fading promise of the American Dream, Ibsen draws on his years in public service to explain how disillusionment, economic strain, and digital distraction are reshaping an entire generation’s relationship to democracy. Together, he and Philip examine how we can rekindle civic life and why the future depends on it.

Early Leadership and Civic DutyAt just 25, Anders Ibsen became one of the youngest elected officials in Pierce County. He shares how a college internship at the State Capitol inspired his belief that young voices can lead and why waiting on the sidelines is not an option.The

Generational Decline in Civic LifeCiting Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone, Ibsen explains how the erosion of social bonds from church membership to community clubs has left Americans bowling alone. Habits of engagement, he argues, are formed early, and without them, democracy weakens.

Relevance, Not RebellionEfforts such as Rock the Vote tried to make politics look exciting but missed the point. What young people crave is not entertainment but relevance. They need to see that government decisions actually improve their lives.

Broken Promises and the Betrayal of the American DreamFrom unaffordable housing to student debt, Ibsen argues that both young and older generations feel betrayed by a system that no longer delivers. The result is cynicism, survival mode living, and the erosion of civic trust.

The Social Media TrapSocial media, Ibsen warns, is even worse than alcohol or drugs for its dopamine-driven manipulation of youth. He calls for regulating it as a controlled vice and reinvesting the proceeds into public health and civic education.

Building Civic HabitsRe-engagement begins with institutions that listen. Ibsen describes Tacoma’s participatory budgeting program as a model for giving residents real voice and real results, calling it 'the stuff of rebuilding trust.'

20. "The Truth About Evictions" with Jim Henderson and Caitlyn McKenney

Saison 2 · Épisode 10

vendredi 10 octobre 2025 • Durée 28:16

In this eye-opening episode of The Informed Citizen, host Philip Lindholm sits down with Jim Henderson, founder of Landlord Solutions and Washington Government Relations, and Caitlyn McKenney, housing policy researcher and writer for FixHomelessness.org, to unpack one of the most divisive issues in America: evictions.Episode OverviewFrom rising rent costs to state-level moratoriums and broken safety nets, Philip, Jim, and Caitlyn explore the complex web of housing policies shaping life across Washington and beyond. Together, they reveal how well-intentioned laws can sometimes backfire - hurting tenants, landlords, and communities alike.Episode Highlights🔹 The Eviction RealityJim explains how the eviction process really works—from notice to court filing—and why it can take months (or even years) to resolve. He describes the immense strain on small landlords who lose income, legal fees, and sometimes their property altogether.🔹 Unintended Consequences of Tenant Protection LawsCaitlyn shares stories of policies that, while designed to protect tenants, end up endangering neighbors, bankrupting landlords, and eroding housing supply. Together, they discuss shocking examples of violent tenants shielded by legal loopholes.🔹 Who Should Pay?The guests tackle the tough question: When tenants can’t pay rent, whose responsibility is it—landlords, government, or society? Their answers reveal a clash between compassion and practicality, and the limits of private industry as a public safety net.🔹 Property Rights vs. Public GoodFrom Supreme Court precedents to the moral question of whether “housing is a right,” Philip leads a nuanced discussion about American law, fairness, and accountability in the rental market.🔹 What’s Next for Housing PolicyCaitlyn and Jim offer creative, realistic solutions to fix a system that’s failing both sides—reducing regulation, restoring accountability, and ensuring that housing remains both fair and functional.Key Takeaways• Evictions are not simply a “landlord vs. tenant” story—they impact entire communities.• Tenant protections must be balanced with accountability and due process.• Housing policy reform should prioritize sustainability, safety, and shared responsibility.• The free market, when properly structured, can serve tenants better than overregulation.Listed and subscribe to the podcast:• Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-informed-citizen• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-informed-citizen/id1738680188Connect with us:• The Informed Citizen Website: https://theinformedcitizen.com/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drphiliplindholm/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drphiliplindholm • YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdscEVf-gjkiNh9YK-0yYiTZN7usLZ4CR Credits:• Music: Sound and Vision, “This Party Bussin”This podcast is for informational purposes only and not professional advice.

18. "Cities Under Siege?" with Mayor Dana Ralph

Saison 2 · Épisode 18

mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Durée 31:15

Host Philip Lindholm sits down with Dana Ralph, Mayor of Kent, Washington, about the growing power struggle between cities and the state. As Kent faces the pressures of rapid growth, rising housing costs, public safety concerns, and state-imposed mandates, Ralph offers a frank and unfiltered look at what it really takes to govern at the local level when Olympia holds most of the cards.

From budget battles and policy overreach to the human cost of delayed decisions, this conversation shines a light on the hidden fights city leaders wage every day just to keep their communities afloat.

EpisodeHighlights

Cities UnderSiege

Mayor Ralphexplains how local governments like Kent are being boxed in by state policies, leaving cities with responsibility for outcomes but little control over the tools to deliver them.

Housing andAffordability

With Kent growing faster than the infrastructure can keep up, Ralph breaks down the gap between what the state demands and what the city can realistically build—and who gets left behind in the process.

Public Safety Under Pressure

She discusses the tension between community expectations for safety and state-level restrictions that make hiring and retention of officers increasingly difficult.

Infrastructure Bottlenecks

From roads and bridges to regional transit, Ralph exposes the hidden cost of stalled state projects and how they choke local economies.

The Politics of Power

At the heart of this conversation is a candid look at who really holds the power; city leaders on the front lines, or state lawmakers shaping the rules from Olympia.

Leadership in the Crossfire

Mayor Ralph reflects on the personal side of governing under siege: the stress, the stakes, and the responsibility of leading a city that’s growing faster than its support systems.

17. "Lessons From the Street" with Activist Ginny Burton

Saison 2 · Épisode 7

mardi 22 juillet 2025 • Durée 43:37

In this powerful episode, Philip Lindholm sits down with Ginny Burton—a former addict, felon, and now one of the nation’s most sought-after voices on recovery and homelessness.

Ginny’s life story reads like fiction: introduced to drugs by her mother at just seven years old, she spent decades addicted, homeless, and entangled in crime. By the age of 40, she had committed 17 felonies and was homelessness on the streets of Seattle. But against all odds, she transformed her life—graduating from the University of Washington as a Truman Scholar and dedicating herself to helping others overcome the same cycles she once lived.

Episode Highlights:

A Life Reclaimed:Ginny shares the raw details of her journey from addiction and homelessness to education, activism, and public service. Her story is a testament to human resilience and the power of second chances.

The Reality of Homelessness:Ginny describes what it’s really like to live on the streets—especially as a woman—and why addiction so often leads to homelessness. She challenges common myths, including the idea that homelessness is primarily about lack of affordable housing.

The Flaws in Our System: We explore why current social services often fail the people they are meant to help. Ginny critiques the "harm reduction" model, arguing that we are enabling addiction rather than offering real recovery. She advocates for a system that prioritizes freedom from addiction, not management of it.

Addiction and Relationships: Ginny discusses how addiction destroys trust, erodes love, and isolates individuals from their communities. Her personal reflections provide invaluable insight for anyone with a loved one struggling with substance use.

A New Approach to Treatment:From medication-assisted treatment to the debate over involuntary commitment, Ginny offers a provocative but compassionate roadmap for how to truly help those trapped in addiction—starting with accountability, structure, and real rehabilitation.

Policy and Lived Experience:

Ginny calls for system leaders to include the voices of people with lived experience at the decision-making table—not just as token participants, but as primary leaders shaping policy.
