Mar 30: Confab #66
Confab #66 is part two of our conversation about Bolivia and Guatemala. We pick up where we left off in Confab #65, with Seth explaining some of the culture shock he experienced. The conversation drifts back to Seattle and the organizations (both the Plymouth Housing Group and the Recovery Cafe) where several of the guests either volunteer or work. We reconsider the homelessness question, general assistance for the unemployable (GAU), harm reduction, and the role art plays in addiction (or the role addiction plays in art).
This show was recorded during the March 12, 2009 Confab.
Our guests:
- Heidi Anderson
- Liz Coz
- Schelley Olhava
- Sarah Sausner
- Seth Sexton
- Richard Huff

Mar 23: Confab #65
We welcome several new guests to the conversation for this show, which is in two parts. This is part one. Seth (a returning guest) is back from Guatemala, and Sarah (new to the show) is back from Bolivia. Liz Coz (new to the show) is a volunteer for Seattle's Recovery Cafe (something you'll learn more about in the next show). The rest of this show's cast are fairly regular guests, but nonetheless appreciated. We all participate in a conversation about Central America and the experience of living and working in that region of the world.

Feb 15: Confab #64
With the economy so dominate in our current news cycle, we couldn't resist taking a few minutes to agree (conservative and liberal) that a great deal of the "bailout" worries us. What we don't know, and what would make all the difference in our thinking, is exactly how bad things really are. Very few people would agree that some sort of ideology should be important to hold on to in the face of complete economic collapse. How, exactly, does a bailout of all three auto manufacturers make sense, though? Wouldn't it be better to make a one-time, direct payment to a bunch of displaced autoworkers?
