What is up, Lilac City? On this episode of Spokast!, Spokane-based comedian Adam Swensen joins me to talk about his upcoming comedy variety show, Religious Traumedy—a hilarious, heartfelt deep dive into the weird, wild world of growing up Christian and figuring out who you are after leaving the church behind.Adam shares his journey from Bible college to the comedy stage, how Spokane's queer comedy scene gave him space to find his voice, and what inspired him to turn years of religious baggage into something funny, vulnerable, and totally relatable.We also read a few questionable Norm Macdonald-style jokes together—because of course we did.Religious Traumedy is happening August 15th at The Chameleon, and the lineup is stacked. You'll see stand-up sets from Kaley Alness and Wyatt Colombo, drag performances by Perri Twinkle and Polly Amethyst, and a special performance by Camrynne Sullivan. Of course, the night will be hosted by Adam Swenson himself—plus a few surprise guests you won't want to miss.

Today Izzy and I speak with Nate Mullins, founder of 3:23 Composites LLC.Nate grew up in Spokane, WA and spent his teen years building countless RC aircraft. He also formed a band and toured the country, eventually landing in Nashville, TN. Nate continued to chase the music business but also worked as a business banker. Here’s an interesting tidbit, he worked for the Hobby Lobby RC superstore designing and testing new RC aircraft. 2010 was a big year for Nate, he got married and started his flight training. That is when his passion shifted from music to aviation. He earned his PPL in 2011 and worked as the airport manager at the Springfield, TN airport, M91. That’s when he decided to build a LongEZ and N316NM was completed in 2014. Nate recognized a need in the industry for quality composite services so in 2016 he founded 3:23 Composites LLC. 3:23 provides mobile composite services as well as custom parts for the Rutan line of aircraft. Nate is currently in the process of designing an all new tandem canard with the goal of jet performance on a piston budget. https://323composites.comhttps://www.facebook.com/323composites/

In this episode of Stories from the River, CEO Charlie Malouf wraps up a four-part mini-series on Broad River Retail's approach to budgeting, financial discipline, and their own version of the "great game of business." This episode focuses on the Q & A segment with retail leaders and general managers, diving into the practicalities and philosophies behind their monthly budgeting process. In this series, Charlie emphasizes transparency and the importance of learning from the company's early years, their pivotal 2015 moment, and the disciplined planning and forecasting that now defines their culture. He illustrates how rigorous budgeting serves not only to meet obligations and cover fixed expenses but also to fuel growth, mutual prosperity, and performance bonuses for Memory Makers. A standout example he mentions is the story of DASH, which encapsulates their approach to abundance and responsible planning. The Q & A discussion for this episode touches on recent successes—like 91 straight months of wins—and how the company invests significant profits back into the business, from opening new stores to shoring up inventory and paying down debt. The conversation also addresses challenges tied to expanding into non-adjacent markets (such as the Spokane project), and how risks are managed to protect the "mothership." Charlie and other contributors reiterate their commitment to fair and long-term decision-making, ensuring that any growth or new ventures are weighed carefully to sustain both the company and its Memory Makers. The episode ends on a forward-looking note, previewing new series topics like The Lighthouse Fund, which aims to support Memory Makers in times of crisis, and celebrates the company's milestone of reaching its 300th podcast episode.

Whether you're a seasoned floral professional or someone with a wild flower idea, Katie's infectious enthusiasm and call-to-action will inspire you to think bigger about blooms. Topics Covered: The making of PBS series "Follow the Blooms" Season 1 Behind-the-scenes stories from underwater gardens to treehouse reveals Season 2 submission process and collaboration opportunities Reaching new audiences beyond traditional floral markets The business of flowers as public art and community experiences How to get involved in the "flower revolution" Perfect for: Floral designers, event planners, PBS fans, community artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about innovative approaches to floral design.

Change is coming to our cryptocurrency market. Last Friday, President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, the country’s first major cryptocurrency law. It will create a regulatory framework for stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency that’s value is tied to assets like the U.S. dollar. Supporters say the bill will modernize our financial system, but others say the legislation won’t do enough to protect consumers. Here in Washington, crypto has a… mixed reputation. Last month Spokane’s city council voted to ban crypto ATMs from within city limits. And, in rural Washington, cryptomining operations have led to concerns about environmental impact and energy costs. But, crypto also has supporters in our tech hub state. And the digital funds have played a part in some of our elections – like last year, when a crypto PAC gave close to $1.5 million for ads supporting Democratic State Senator Emily Randall. So, what does this new regulation mean for Washington state? Guest: Brady Dale, a cryptocurrency reporter at Axios. Related stories: Why PNW officials are only now deciding crypto mining regulation - The Seattle Times 2 Democrats, 1 Republican face off in competitive WA 6th District race - The Seattle Times Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

In today's episode we're talking with Natalie Bancroft and Laura Fifield, two amazing women who are linked with a quite famous recent birth story. You see Natalie, a birth photographer and doula as well as a mama of 3, gave birth to her third baby earlier this year at home. And baby Simon weighed 11 lbs. 2 oz!!! And Laura, Natalie's friend, birth photographer and mama of 2, was there to document the experience. Some of the amazing photos from the birth, namely one that features Natalie holding her newly birthed bundle of adorable squish with this elated, shocked, goddess-like expression of “wow!” has been featured far and wide. Publications like Today Show, Hello Giggles and even People have featured the image on their sites. We were so grateful and excited to speak with these awesome women. They share insights from the birth photography community, which is small in their city of Spokane, WA. We get to hear about some of the memorable births they've been able to document. Natalie talks about her journey to home birth, having her first in a hospital, and deciding that she wanted a different experience for future births. Her second was a beautiful home birth, and she knew she'd have another one for her third. It wasn't long into the pregnancy that she realized baby number 3 was going to be larger than the others. Natalie's belly was so much larger, in fact, that they went for an ultrasound towards the end of the pregnancy to find out if she was having twins! Turns out, she wasn't. This baby was just that big. When birthing time came around, everyone was prepared and peaceful. And the whole experience was only about 4 hours! Both these women are total rockstars and inspiration for the birthing community. We're honored to have them join the DIAH podcast and share a story that has reached so many. Enjoy!

Today's Headlines: Israel launched missile strikes on Syria's military HQ in Damascus, potentially destabilizing the new Syrian government amid talks to normalize relations. Despite the Trump administration's request to hold back, Israel is sending more troops to the border, citing threats to the Druze community. Meanwhile, Trump hosted Bahrain's crown prince, who pledged $17 billion in U.S. investments—though details were vague, aside from a symbolic model airplane. Trump also denied plans to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite telling Republicans otherwise, and floated the Fed's over-budget HQ renovations as a possible excuse. Separately, the administration fired federal prosecutor Maurene Comey—daughter of James Comey—who had handled the Epstein, Maxwell, and Diddy cases, offering no clear reason. Trump mocked his own supporters who believe Epstein conspiracy theories, calling them “weaklings,” while still refusing to release promised files. And in two more Trump-world twists: DHS deported five migrants to Eswatini, an African country none of them were from, and federal agents arrested nine anti-ICE protesters in Spokane. Lastly, $100 million worth of Trump memecoins are unlocking today, padding the president's net worth. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: Axios: Israel bombs Syrian capital despite U.S. pressure to "stand down" Bloomberg: Bahrain's PM Vows $17 Billion US Investment During Trump Meeting NBC News: Trump says it's 'highly unlikely' he will fire Fed Chair Powell after broaching idea with GOP reps Axios: Trump says Fed renovations issue might be fireable for Powell WaPo: DOJ fires Maurene Comey, prosecutor involved in Epstein, Diddy cases AP News: Trump slams his own supporters as 'weaklings' for falling for what he now calls the Epstein 'hoax' Axios: DHS sends migrants to Eswatini in new 3rd-country deportation Seattle Time: Federal government accuses nine Spokane protesters of violence against ICE Bloomberg: Trump Memecoin Unlock To Test Crypto Demand Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When June Matthews found a charming fixer-upper just north of Spokane in 2010, it felt like the dream starter home—until she stepped into the basement. A heavy silence, an icy draft, and an inexplicable sense of being watched were the only flaws she could find, and she brushed them off as an overactive imagination. But within weeks of moving in, lights began to flicker, footsteps echoed where no one walked, and the basement door refused to stay closed. June never believed in the paranormal—until the house insisted she change her mind. Was this merely a creaky old home, or the beginning of a haunting in Washington?
