In 2020, 16-year-old Antonio Mays Jr. traveled to Seattle's Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone, a several block encampment that demonstrators declared to be a police-free area. But one night, Mays was shot to death in a stolen Jeep while protestors and journalists livestreamed the aftermath. Protestors said the group's internal security forces shot in self-defense, while video shows someone approaching the stopped Jeep and firing at close range. The conflicting narratives have muddied the truth about that night, and Mays's shooter remains unidentified. From NPR's “Embedded,” KUOW, and The Seattle Times comes the podcast “We Keep Us Safe.” A team of reporters sifts through the video and re-interview witnesses to explore why a teen was killed and another left with brain damage. The team uncovers new evidence, identifies potential suspects in the shooting of Antonio Mays Jr, and asks why justice at a justice-reform demonstration remains elusive.

Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW podcast, Booming. Seattle is becoming a city of singles. And that’s turned one of the world’s oldest businesses into one of the hottest new ones. App fatigue is causing more and more singles to break up with online dating. Instead of swiping, more and more people are turning to matchmakers and other ways to find love IRL. Often spending thousands of dollars in the process. Matchmaking is having a moment. Could it solve what some are calling the 'relationship recession' and help the economy as well?
