About this episode
This week… Seattle Public Schools is grappling with a budget shortfall that will potentially close 20 schools. KUOW found out who was spearheading the effort to put a children’s playground next to the historically queer nude beach at Denny Blaine Park. And pass the butter - a Seattle event called “Gays Eating Garlic Bread” went viral and drew over 100 people looking to make some friends. Freelance Arts Reporter Jas Keimig and Your Last Meal Podcast Host Rachel Belle are here to break down the week.
