On today's episode, why is it so hard for this generation of music festivals to find their rhythm? Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

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.

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!

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.

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.

So, I'm not sure if this is a slightly “hot take” or not, but regardless…I'm totally fine stating on the record that I believe the Flintstones and Hulk Hogan provided (historically) two of the most impactful positive inflection points involving the children's health supplements market. Initially, children's chewable vitamin tablets were generic in shape…but the game changed forever in 1968 when Miles Laboratories launched Flintstones Chewable Vitamins. By transforming essential nutrients into the beloved characters of the Hanna-Barbera animated sitcom, the product cleverly capitalized on the cartoon's popularity to make vitamin consumption an enjoyable and appealing experience for children. This innovative approach helped demystify vitamins, making them more accessible and less like medicine. And while these revolutionary Flintstones Chewable Vitamins marked the first successful foray into marketing health products to children…Miles Laboratories was hardly an unknown small pharmaceutical company, as it also was responsible for inventing products like Alka-Selzer and One-A-Day vitamins. In fact, Miles Laboratories was generating more than $2 billion in inflation adjusted revenue a half-century ago. And in 1979, when Bayer acquired Miles Laboratories…it became (at the time) the most expensive U.S. acquisition by a foreign pharmaceutical company, ever. Today, while the dominate delivery format of Flintstones Vitamins has evolved with the market preference of gummies…you can still find the standard chewable tablets basically anywhere vitamins are sold in the U.S. market. Also, Flintstones Vitamins are supposedly still the number one pediatrician brand choice for children's chewable vitamins…and reportedly sustains nine-figures of retail sales dollars annually. But then, deploying a vastly different (yet equally) powerful strategy to impact children's dietary habits and perceptions of health and wellness, Hulk Hogan famously said, "say your prayers, eat your vitamins, and be true to yourself." Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Hulk Hogan wasn't just a titan of that specific entertainment genre…he became a cultural icon. Portrayed as a heroic figure who embodied strength, perseverance, a positive attitude…and championed doing the right thing, the larger-than-life persona of Hulk Hogan created a powerful connection with countless "Hulkamaniacs” young (and old). And while not directly associated with a specific vitamin brand at the time when he began incorporating and constantly repeating "eat your vitamins" into his mantra, Hulk Hogan elevated the potentially mundane chore to a vital step in achieving strength and becoming a real-life hero like himself. Though, in the early 1990s…Hulk Hogan finally connected “catchphrase to commerce” by advertising his own line of chewable children's vitamins. And while his chewable vitamins didn't prove successful long-term (especially compared to the Flintstones), the direct endorsement further solidified the link between Hulk Hogan and healthy habits in the minds of children. The exact commercial impact the Flintstones and Hulk Hogan had on the children's health supplements market would be quantifiably impossible for me to obviously figure out. And despite the early childhood and preadolescence stages declining usage rate…multivitamins still account for around 70% of the total children's health supplements market, thus making it the primary underlying driver behind the booming (basically) billion-dollar retail sales category within the U.S. market right now!

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas A&M's provost and executive vice president Alan Sams sounds like an official of Leftist universities such as NYU or Columbia? (Maybe that's where he should be working…) Sams sent an email to faculty, staff, and graduate students telling them to report any sightings if ICE on campus to the campus cops. He also stressed how “privacy” is of the “utmost importance” in a context making it appear the A&M will not share the illegal status of a person with legitimate law enforcement.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Jobs boom: Texas leads the nation in job creation and the unemployment rate drops.Oil and gas drilling rig count drops in Texas.

On the surface, what the wellness industry is offering feels like an antidote to our fragmented and fast-paced lives. Influencers and companies use words like "mindfulness" or “whole foods” or “self care” to get our stressed out, burnt out buy in. But, somewhere along the line those promises start to morph into luxury services, expensive memberships and supplements you never knew you needed. In her book “How to Be Well” former fashion journalist Amy Larocca explores the blurred line between healing and branding in a $6 trillion dollar industry.We discuss:Why our current wellness craze mirrors 1930s pre-Nazi GermanyHow Abraham Flexner completely changed how we teach medicine in the US for better – and for worseWhy the spiritual and community void left by declining religious participation leads people to look to the wellness industry for bothAmy says what attracts people to the modern fitness class has parallels to religious practices:“So if you look at what happens in ritual religious gatherings… You see a lot of that replicated in a lot of these boutique fitness settings. You have ritual, you have music, you have ecstatic movement, you have charismatic leaders, you have a sermon. And these sermons have increasingly moved away from talk of muffin tops and bikini bodies and losing that whatever it is, to kindness, community, thinking about your place in the world, thinking about taking the energy that you are building up in that room and spreading it forward. ”Relevant LinksBuy Amy's book “How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time”Read this Wikipedia page on Martine Rothblatt's robot replica of her wife BinaCheck out this article on the impact of the Flexner report on US medicineRead the book “McMindfulness” Amy mentions in the episodeSign up for Lamar's SoulCycle classAbout Our GuestAmy Larocca is an award-winning American journalist.

For nearly a century, Washington’s timber industry produced everything from paper to 2x4s to the massive wood beams that hold up the Tacoma dome. But the industry’s been on a long decline since the 1990s. Now, President Trump wants to reduce foreign competition and increase U.S. logging to bring back those jobs. Could Trump’s strategy revive the timber industry in the Northwest? We went to a sawmill in the foothills of Mt. Rainier to find 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?
