Who’s Really Behind Candlelight Concerts, a New Boeing Whistleblower Documentary, and the Mariners Worst Loss… Ever?!
Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by contributor Chase Hutchinson and the Seattle Times magazine’s arts and culture writer Gemma Wilson to discuss those ads you might have been served for a variety of “candlelight” concerts around Seattle and who is actually behind them. Gemma went down a real journalistic rabbit hole to find out. Then, Jane and Chase are joined by contributor Lex Vaughn to discuss a new documentary that digs into the tumultuous recent history of Boeing and its whistleblowers, as well as the latest on SIFF’s union negotiations, and the worst loss in Mariners history.
