    Nov 18 2025

    Tell us a secret!

    The Burner gals return with glee over the Katie Wilson's winning of the Seattle Mayoral Race. On the pod this week is her consultant, Jake Simpson, from Winpower, who talks about what went into her win. All credit goes to Katie ... except for those last 2,000 votes, those we claim as the Burner Bump.

  • Stop Surveillance Seattle by Sept. 9 (Feat. BJ Last & DivestSPD)
    Sep 2 2025

    Tell us a secret!

    Oh hai Burner Babes. We're gabbing this week about how only stupid, ugly people want to install surveillance cameras around our city. Mayor Bruce Harrell has decided that the Seattle Police Department needs literally more than 365 cameras across the city, a move that will threaten the safety of immigrants, people seeking abortions, and anyone in Seattle unlucky enough to be caught on grainy camera feed near the scene of a crime. On the couch to talk about this is BJ Last, from Stop Surveillance City, and returning guest Justin Ward, head of DivestSPD. Reminder that to stop Seattle morphing into the panopticon, submit a public comment by Sept. 9.

  • Can Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell Retain His Parking Spot? Feat. Stephen Paolini
    Aug 11 2025

    Tell us a secret!

    Welcome back Burner Babes! Your hosts Ashley and Hannah are thrilled to be joined by, once again, Stephen Paolini, our on-call consultant and the string-puller behind Progressive People Power PAC (P3). As you already know, progressives had an outstanding showing in the recent primary election. But ever the devil's advocates, the girls (and Stephen) discuss Mayor Bruce Harrell's (narrow) path to victory, Claudia Balducci's odds (high) at the King County Executive job, and other random hot takes about the election along the way!
