20 min - All About Ice Cream
This episode is all about ice cream, as we get the scoop on two very different styles of desert deliciousness in the neighborhood.
First we chat with MOTO chef-owner Lee Kindell for a Tastemaker deep dive on the unique soft serve he’s paired with some of the most sought-after pizza in Seattle. And how does one get the chance to create their very own ice cream flavor for Husky Deli, one of West Seattle’s oldest and most iconic businesses? Find out firsthand from the most recent flavor creators, Marcy Johnsen and Joey Richesson, and how this unique opportunity supports (and traces back to) the Southwest Seattle Historical Society's Log House Museum.

21 min - Summer Fest Flashes Back
The second weekend of July is when we’d typically be gathering in the Junction to mix it up with neighbors and friends, catch some live music, and enjoy a rare opportunity to eat and drink al fresco. But while Summer Fest as we’ve come to know it is taking another pandemic-induced break, there’s still plenty happening in connection to this annual event that celebrates community.
In this episode, we’ll get the complete rundown on what's happening for Summer Fest this year from organizer Lora Radford of the West Seattle Junction Association. We’ll also talk with the expert-level suds squad assembling from Elliott Bay Brewing Co., Georgetown Brewing Co., and The Beer Junction to create a Summer Fest beer tasting event you can join in online. And we hop into the Jeanette Williams Memorial Time Machine with historian Clay Eals to explore the roots that Summer Fest is returning to this year.
32 min - How We See Ourselves
Get to know Wes Olsen, a longtime West Seattle-ite who’s discovered a new way of viewing and valuing his community through his passion for street photography.
One of the things I love about street photography is the way that people are captured in very candid moments, not posing for pictures or framing themselves in a particular way. In the age of the selfie, it’s definitely a refreshing take. And sometimes the results can be pretty surprising, including to the subjects of the photos themselves, because street photography creates opportunities for people to see themselves in a very different light.
It’s a thought I took with me to the Junction recently, when I asked people I met on the street if they thought other people ever saw them differently than they see themselves. Hear the revealing things people of the Junction had to say.
How we see ourselves as individuals and as a community is something I find myself thinking about whenever I’m scrolling through the latest photos from Wes Olsen, a local budding talent who recently returned to sharing his work on Instagram under the handle westseattlestreets. We talked recently about what led him down this path, and how he’s capturing our everyday history through his camera lens.

28 min - Matthew Lee Johnston: The Mind Behind PMA MagazineEver since this podcast began, I’ve been talking to West Seattle people about the various pandemic-related pivots they’ve made in their personal and professional lives. In this episode, I talk with someone in our community who made a big bold move well before the whole world changed, motivated by his own internal thinking, his desire to try something different, and the drive to connect people in a positive way. His name is Matthew Lee Johnston, and what he created back in 2018 to deliver on these ideals is called PMA Magazine. It’s focused on people doing good things for their community or the world, and finding out how they make it possible. We caught up with Matt to learn more about the magazine, the movement, and the man behind it.PMA Magazine issue number six was recently released, you can find it at Easy Street Records or online at gethatpma.com.43 min
- Jet City Laboratory Takes OffAs we begin to emerge from our protective pandemic bubbles, opportunities for in-person community connection of all kinds are starting to appear. One such happening is brand new: it’s called Jet City Laboratory, a cultural incubator and collaborative space taking shape in the former 8 Limbs Yoga studio that sits just above the heart of the Alaska Junction. While the business is brand new, the enterprising mind behind it is someone you’ve probably seen or heard around the neighborhood plenty of times: it’s local DJ Derek Moon, who we caught up with to learn more about his latest creative endeavor, along with updates on his work promoting Seattle DJs and musicians through Worldwide FM, and the Soul Focus podcast that sprang from his popular nights spinning tunes at Supreme pizza bar.20 min
