Bigfoot is here... for a movie premiere!

In this episode, the legendary Bigfoot comes to town for the premiere of HUNTING BIGFOOT, a new locally-produced movie opening August 20 at the Historic Admiral Theatre. Are there Bigfoot believers in West Seattle? We find out by hitting the streets to hear firsthand from The People of the Junction. And you can’t miss our exclusive interview between Bigfoot and West Seattle’s own most elusive famous figure! We’ll also get some suggestions for your end-of-summer reading list from Eric Ogriseck at Pegasus Book Exchange.

Next we check in with Eric Ogriseck from Pegasus Book Exchange to discuss his three picks:

The Bad Muslim Discount by Syed M. Massod

Wild Remedies: How to Forage Healing Foods and Craft Your Own Herbal Medicine by Rosalee de la Forêt and Emily Han

Rosewater: The Wormwood Trilogy #1 by Tade Thompson

Eric also discusses local foraging and his own homemade health products made from locally-sourced natural ingredients.

Voices of Experience

The podcast hits its one-year anniversary with a look back at how far we’ve come and gratitude for all the support that got us this far. We talk with Paul Casey about his KKNW radio show, Voices of Experience, and what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur, then replay the interview segment on his show that first introduced us.

Words on the Street

Get to know “typewriter guy” Sean Petrie who discusses his on-the-spot approach to creating poetry, including West Seattle-focused works collected in his book, “Listen to the Trees,” created with the Southwest Seattle Historical Society and published in 2020 by West Seattle-based publisher Documentary Media. And in part two of our interview with West Seattle Blog editor/co-publisher Tracy Record, we talk about commenters and what it takes to maintain a community forum, plus the allure of our area’s natural wonders, publishing highlights, one thing West Seattle could use more of and another that hopefully won’t change much.

Dakota Street Divas

Dakota Street sits on the top end of the Junction, just above where a new beginning is underway for artists over 50 led by Fogue Gallery and its inspiring owner/founder, Patti Curtis. Right across California Avenue, local singer Cheryl Serio is spreading joy with impromptu performances from her apartment balcony. Plus, the Jeanette Williams Memorial Time Machine explores the history of Dakota Street for its inaugural run.
