Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by regular contributors Marcus Harrison Green and Chase Hutchinson to talk about the state of worker-owned collective businesses in Seattle. Does Rainier Beach’s Jude’s show us a path forward to alternatives to big business threatening to leave the state, and why isn’t the media focusing more on success than failure? Then, Chase tells us about the unfortunate news coming from Seattle Center: you won’t be able to see new Hollywood movies on IMAX anymore. Plus, the exciting new Seattle-based film coming out of the Cannes film festival! Finally, Jane sits down with theater artist Ryan Guzzo Purcell to discuss his theatrical walking tour Wealth Walk, which is happening now through the beginning of June.
