View all City Cast Seattle episodes

Today on the show, Jane and Marcus Harrison Green are joined by music journalist and fiddle player Devon Leger to hear about the best spots to hear some Irish music this weekend and on St. Patrick’s Day. After, Jane and Marcus speak with writer and podcaster Sarah Stuteville to talk about why, as a leftist who spent her life not having anything to do with guns, she decided to buy her own gun, and how that is becoming more common among people who identify as left-leaning. Jane, Marcus, and Sarah round out the show by talking about what is making them happy and their plans for the weekend (including seeing Brett Hamil with Kenji Lopez-Alt)
