Hot Rat Summer

Episode 1004

Tuesday, August 12, 2025 • Duration 42:11

Devon tells Liz about Seattle's current controversy with a feel-good ending: the story of the Hot Rat Summer mosaic in Capitol Hill's Cal Anderson Park.

AKA "Saint Rat", Hot Rat Summer is a mosaic that has won the heart of its community while getting caught in city's larger push for tougher graffiti laws and punishments, as well as continuing the conversation about the importance of trans visibility. With the controversy heating up in June and July of 2025 and a resolution on our about August 4, this is our most current Pacific Northweird story covered to date.

We talked for over an hour and a half on and around Hot Rat Summer, going over public art, community rights and roles, trans visibility, laws and policies, art history, and more: editing this episode down to just about 40 minutes was a challenge. If you'd like the 60 minute version, join us over on Patreon where we left in bits about Liz's work on Expo '74, Devon's experience editing, a deeper dive into public policy thanks to Liz, and a small aside about big balls.

The Man With The Mustache: Peter Max and the Expo '74 Stamp

Episode 1003

Monday, July 28, 2025 • Duration 32:41

Liz tells Devon about Peter Max, the German-American artist who designed the iconic US Expo '74 stamp, which features the “Cosmic Runner" or "Cosmic Jumper" traveling through a colorful world, and the controversy surrounding his false claim that he also illustrated The Beatles' film, "Yellow Submarine".

And just in time to close out Gay Wrath Month, Liz throws in a little bonus connection between Expo '74 and José Julio Sarria, aka Mama José, the celebrated gay rights activist, drag queen, and the first openly gay candidate for public office in the United States. A rough-cut edit with extended Expo '74 content is on our Patreon for subscribers, too!

Images and more info can be found on Liz's website, Visit Expo '74, at https://www.visitexpo74.com/art-and-music.

Fearsome Critters

Episode 1002

Monday, June 30, 2025 • Duration 44:30

Devon tells Liz about "fearsome critters"--characters from American logging camps that are not cryptids, despite often appearing on cryptozoological lists. We sneak in a Pride Month tie-in (are you a Squink or a Gumberoo? Bisexuals claim Ball-Tailed Cats, FYI), and Liz quizzes Devon on some old timey logging terms.

Spokane Was a Railroad Town

Episode 1001

Saturday, June 7, 2025 • Duration 31:42

Liz tells Devon the meaning behind the mysterious (and vaguely combative) SPOKANE WAS A RAILROAD TOWN billboards recently spotted in Spokane. She shares the cast of characters behind the boards, and ties the story in to Expo '74's legacy: "The best of what Expo was is the best of what Riverfront Park still is, which is a place where every body can come, and you don’t have to have a specific membership or whatever: you just show up."

Spokane was a railroad town? No, darling: Spokane is a railroad town.

Far From Home: The Masculine Urge To Become A Cloud

Episode 146

Monday, December 5, 2022 • Duration 55:54

The story of Oregonian Kent Couch's adventures in cluster ballooning.

Far From Home: A Quarter To Five

Episode 145

Monday, November 7, 2022 • Duration 58:40

We discuss the case of William Toomey, a man who ended his journey in a church in Boise, Idaho and left quite a mystery behind. It's mentioned at the top, but this episode is all about somebody who died from suicide, so skip it if needed. We also touch briefly on the issue of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy, but don't go into any particular detail, just acknowledging that it happened and became a part of the public consciousness.

Skid Road: The Three Loves of Doc Maynard

Episode 143

Thursday, March 10, 2022 • Duration 01:12:06

We close Skid Road with the man who gave it another one of its many names: Maynardtown. What makes a middle-aged doctor leave his family in Cleveland behind and trek the Oregon Trail? How far can someone go for the chance to marry the woman he loves? Most importantly, what is a magoozle and how does it give us not just Skid Road, but Seattle itself and even the entirety of Washington State? Only one way for you to find out... come join us for one last romp on the wrong side of the tracks.

Skid Road: Under The Surface

Episode 142

Tuesday, February 22, 2022 • Duration 01:18:40

Devon takes us down... deep down into the Seattle Underground! Let's learn about Bill Spiedel and the unique world he helped preserve beneath Seattle's streets. (We kinda allude to this at one point but Spiedel did like a dash of flavor with his history, so let's take it all with a "as told by" grain of salt. I still don't quite buy that anybody lived with reverse toilets as a daily problem.) This episode brought to you by washingtonstatelandforsale.com.

Skid Road: Henry Kubota and the Sinking Ship

Episode 141

Monday, January 3, 2022 • Duration 01:05:07

This time we went all in on one block. Yes, one individual singular solitary block of Seattle. But there's quite a bit to say about this block, as it turns out. This is also an episode where the story necessitates talking about the anti-Asian attitudes and policies of late 19th/early 20th century Washington State and the U.S., including the Chinese Exclusion Act and the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2. You know our style, we don't get into detailed descriptions of hate crimes or anything, but like always, use your judgment and be good to yourselves.
