Hi, everyone, it's Megna, and this is a special podcast drop of On Point.

Now, as you've seen in our feed, we recently did an hour on the affordability crisis in Seattle, Washington,

and that episode featured parts of my conversation with Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson.

Well, as promised, what you're about to hear now is that conversation in its entirety. We were in Seattle with the help of On Point

Station, KUOW, on stage before an enthusiastic audience of around 900 Seattleites. Mayor Wilson and I talked about not only housing and homelessness, but also about what it's like to be a Democratic mayor in the time of President Donald Trump. One more quick thing. On Point producer Claire Donnelly spent days reporting from different Seattle neighborhoods in advance of my conversation with the mayor,

and Claire has put together a special reporter's notebook to take you behind the scenes of what that

was like and who she met. It's really rare insight into the deeper process of reporting and how we make

the show. Now, Claire's reporter's Notebook is in one special place.

The On Point Club. What's that? Well, the On Point Club is a new way to connect with and support

Okay, now to my full conversation with Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson.

Mayor, if we could start off, we're human being.

So before getting into the big, heavy hitting issues, I just thought we'd have a little bit of fun.

Okay.

Okay?

So we're going to do like a little lightning round.
