Every year, tens of millions of tourists visit Seattle’s Pike Place Market, the Elliot Bay waterfront, and sports stadiums. That tourism industry is growing -- this year, a record number of cruise ships are expected to fill Seattle’s piers. Next year, the population of Seattle will swell- to about double its normal size when it hosts the Word Cup. On today's episode, Seattle needs tourists to keep downtown economically viable — so how do we make sure they don’t love the city to death?

Thrifting has long been a favorite pastime of Seattleites, so much so that we have the biggest Goodwill store in the world. But buying second-hand is also an economic survival strategy for people who can't pay full price on back-to-school clothes or home appliances. Now, in this increasingly expensive city, there's a sense that thrift stores are no longer fitting that need. On today's episode, Monica talks to an expert on thrift culture about the economic forces shaping second-hand shopping and why some say it might not be the place for bargain-hunters anymore.

How your snatched iPhone feeds a global criminal supply chain.Britain's exports have declined in many areas over the past few years, but there is one category in which trade is booming. The UK has become a leading exporter of stolen goods. From iPhones snatched by gangs on the streets of London to luxury cars stolen to order, criminal organisations are shipping vast amounts of items all around the world via Britain's ports. And the authorities cannot keep up.Tom Sasse is public policy editor at The Economist, and has been investigating Britain's stolen goods trade. He joins the New Statesman's business editor, Will Dunn, to explain how these criminal exports work, why the police are powerless to stop them, and the impact this crime is having - on individuals, on businesses and on the entire British economy.Listen next: The Manosphere: Red pills, incels and a misogyny epidemicHost: Will DunnGuest: Tom SasseLISTEN AD-FREE:

For decades, owning a home was considered a golden ticket to economic security. The reality looks a lot different today -- the median price of a single-family home in Seattle is around $1 million, and the greater Seattle area is the third most expensive in the nation. So, why do prices keep going up? And what would it take to make the dream of owning a home in this city affordable again? We put those questions to a real estate economist.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial, are joined by Avi Khan, principal at Ray White AKG, to unpack the Brisbane property market. The Brisbane property market is undergoing a major shift, with auctions becoming a preferred method of sale due to their transparency and competitiveness. Once a last resort, auctions are now booming in Brisbane as buyers from Sydney and Melbourne drive demand. Tight housing supply has intensified competition, driving surprising auction results and record prices, while many owners hold properties, confident in future growth from infrastructure and the Olympics. Success in today's market requires buyers to be prepared with finance, written offers, and decisiveness, while investors must focus on timing sales and presenting properties to appeal broadly. The co-hosts' analysis concludes with Brisbane's traditional seasonal selling patterns fading, as demand continues year-round, reshaping how buyers and sellers approach the market.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has commanded global headlines this week, fresh off a string of blockbuster Californian shows as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. On August 4 and 5, she took over Sofi Stadium, where The Los Angeles Times highlighted her dynamic stagecraft, from pro-boxer walkouts in a silver jumpsuit to a viral moment riding her dancers in a live stationary bike act. One particularly historic moment at Sofi Stadium came when the venue welcomed its ten millionth guest during her concert, a major landmark for the iconic arena. In a move that delighted long-time fans, Shakira performed Men In This Town, a deep cut from her 2009 album, after a viral fan campaign called for its live debut—a testament to her strong connection with her base and social media momentum. The second Los Angeles show also featured a live collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas on Girl Like Me.The tour continued to make waves in Fresno on August 7, with Shakira closing the North American leg in front of more than thirty thousand fans at Valley Children's Stadium. ABC30 reported how fans braved triple-digit heat and long lines before being treated to a spectacular performance, ending in a fireworks finale and rave reactions for her vocals and stage presence. Controversy was minimal, with event delays attributed to the venue rather than Shakira or her team. The positive fan reception and electric demand suggest her pull remains undiminished.Her tour's wider impact is making business headlines in Mexico too, where Travel and Tour World states the concerts are generating a massive one hundred and six million dollar tourism impact—a rare feat for any touring artist. Beyond music, Shakira continues to diversify her brand: On July 31 in Los Angeles, she launched Isima, her new science-based, Latin-rooted haircare line, drawing press and industry attention not only for the products but for her ultra-chic pink lace launch jumpsuit, as covered by CelebMafia. She kept audiences engaged across channels, with social media lighting up around the fan-pushed setlist surprises and her business moves.There are no credible reports of controversies or new legal developments around her. Every recent headline affirms her enduring global star power, versatility in business, and savvy rapport with both fans and the industry as summer 2025 becomes another milestone season in her biography.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

It's been almost 25 years since the Nisqually earthquake, the last "big one" to hit Seattle. But the region is due for an even bigger one -- one that could be more massive than the underwater quake that just hit off the coast of Russia. The Nisqually quake did at least $2 billion worth of damage across the Puget Sound region. It hit Seattle’s historic brick and stone buildings hard, and the city has learned a lot of expensive lessons about what would make them safer. So... is old Seattle worth saving? And is there a way to do it that won’t bankrupt the owners, or the city? Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

Economy Gavin Newsom Panics as California EV Sales Plummet Despite Authoritarian Mandate California's electric vehicle (EV) push under Governor Gavin Newsom faces mounting challenges as sales figures reveal a persistent slowdown, despite the state's aggressive efforts to enforce a ban on new gas-powered cars by 2035. With results suffering ahead of a September deadline, reports indicate he is “panicking.” Recent data shows that EV registrations in the second quarter of 2025 barely edged up from the previous quarter, while dropping significantly compared to the same period last year, raising questions about the viability of mandates that override consumer choice The California Energy Commission reported that 100,671 zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) were registered from April to June, accounting for 21.6% of new vehicle sales. This figure represents a modest increase from the first quarter's 100,326 but a notable decline from the 116,813 seen in the second quarter of 2024. Overall, the state's ZEV market share has trended downward, slipping from 25.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 23% in the first quarter of 2025 before hitting its current low. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported: These trends persist even as federal incentives, including a $7,500 tax credit for new EVs and $4,000 for used ones, are set to expire on September 30, 2025.

Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out?

Despite uncertainty for US clean energy investors, things are looking good for the geothermal sector. US$1.7 billion in public funding was pumped into geothermal projects in Q1 this year - 85% of 2024's entire annual allocation – as breakthrough technologies promise to transform untapped resources into commercially viable clean energy projects.Enhanced geothermal and advanced geothermal technologies are making geothermal energy accessible anywhere, not just at existing sites chosen for their high-temperatures.To explore the science behind EGS and AGS, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by John Plack, VP of engineering at Ameresco. John explains how techniques adapted from the oil and gas sector, like directional drilling and reservoir stimulation, are improving geothermal's commercial viability. John shares what's changed since the IRA's passage, the role of EGS, and why improved subsurface mapping is critical to unlocking investment.Geothermal is currently supplying less than 1% of global energy needs, but could provide 15% of worldwide power by 2050. The US leads global geothermal power production, yet its 4 GW of installed capacity leaves vast resources untapped. Total potential US geothermal capacity exceeds 500 GW, with the best sites in western states featuring temperatures above 150°C and heat flow rates exceeding 80 milliwatts per square metre.Investment is there, and the technology is there, so has the impact of the Trump administration's energy policy been lighter for geothermal than other sectors like wind and solar?
