Former conservative talk radio station 570 KVI has rebranded itself as "Smart Talk 570"---and, naturally, they came to PubliCola for our thoughts on local news.

I've been asked to come on and talk about some recent Cola stories including: my post about a survey that found ORCA card users are happier with the system than expected;  this week's post on a city report about a spike in complaints by rental housing tenants; and my thoughts on what  the city is doing about "transgendered chickens ."

I'm supposed to go on at 7 am. Set your alarm and listen to my sleepy thoughts here.
