The two swap nerd credentials, discuss the importance of spaces where Black nerdiness can be celebrated in all its forms, and what booking Boots Riley as the keynote speaker meant for the festival. Then, contributor Eula Scott Bynoe and guest Charles Douglas III join Marcus to discuss the petition filed this week to recall Mayor Katie Wilson. Marcus asks what it means that the petition has received so much media coverage, outweighing its actual political momentum, and Charles points to a sexist trend in the Seattle politicians who most often receive recall petitions. Finally, the three discuss weekend plans including a cake block party, Hawaiian shave ice, and free wrestling at Belltown Blast. Plus, if you’re a Neighbor, stick around for Marcus and producers Liam and Sam discussing their favorite Seattle lore – made-up slang and pirate radio stories abound.  Learn more about the  sponsors of this August 14th episode: pFriem Beer Grand Central Bakery Want to get in touch?
