Podcasts about Seattle, Washington

Three dates set the mood of this autumn's listening. The Mariners were eliminated from postseason contention on September 24, 2026, a season after reaching Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. As of September 16, 2026, the Sounders had not won an MLS match since May 13. On October 4, 2026, the Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30–23 at home. Sports drive these conversations, with fans deciding whom to blame and how far their patience should stretch.

Forgiveness gets a hearing too. In the Randy Johnson episode of Groz with Gas "Take 5", recorded as the Mariners were retiring his number, one voice says the city "kind of does, for the most part, you know, forgives its heroes for leaving." The autumn titles are harder on the people running the club: GWG are stupefied Dipoto is still in charge. on that show, and QuietLLy into the Night: End of the Dan Wilson Era - Meet at the Mitt Podcast on Meet at the Mitt: A Seattle Mariners podcast. The football shows have a rarer problem: how to defend a championship.

Beneath the scores runs an argument about money. GeekWire's September 12 episode is titled Study warns Seattle over-relies on Big Tech; Seattle Times v. Microsoft; Apple's iPhone Duo echoes the past.

What Seattle is

Seattle, Washington, sits on the eastern shore of Puget Sound and covers approximately 84 square miles. The Census Bureau estimated the city's population at 784,777 as of July 1, 2025. That figure covers the city and excludes the wider metropolitan area. Technology is central to Seattle's economic identity.

Defending a title, four ways

The Seahawks shows spent spring 2026 talking about a team that, as Locked On Seahawks - Daily Podcast On The Seattle Seahawks put it, hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in February. Seahawks Collective is a weekly roundtable with Michael-Shawn Dugar, Rob Staton, Annabelle Hasselbeck and HawkBlogger, and it is liveliest when news breaks on it. In Seahawks Signings in Free Agency + Eagles Sign Riq Woolen!, the panel shelves a planned emoji-reaction segment because a Max Crosby trade has collapsed. They sort through it in real time: which teams were involved, why nothing can be completed before the league year begins, and what a physical would mean.

Seahawks Playbook Podcast moves at the opposite tempo. In March, Bill Alvstad and Keith Myers took the draft class one position at a time. In Seahawks Playbook Podcast Episode 739: Seahawks Duel Mock Drafts, the only rule is that each leaves with at least six picks, and both finish with exactly six. The talk is technical, built for listeners who like roster arguments assembled from parts.

Locked On Seahawks - Daily Podcast On The Seattle Seahawks, with Corbin Smith and Rob Rang, keeps the map local. Smith's welcomes name Bremerton and Port Orchard, and in Seattle Seahawks TAKE FLIER on Veteran Pass Rusher Dante Fowler Jr. Rang notes that John Schneider has never drafted a Nebraska player for Seattle before making the case for one. Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans is the loudest of the group. Near the end of Seahawks Free Agency: Josh Jones is Back, RB Added...What's Next?, one host turns on the Rams "with their stupid coach and their stupid GM."

The Mariners and who answers for them

The baseball talk turns to what went wrong and whose fault it is. In Chuck in the Morning 7-24 Hour 2: 12th Man News with Gregg Bell, let's set the record straight... and let's se this straight too., Chuck and Buck's host walks through a one-run game to make his case against Dan Wilson's bullpen choices. He also acknowledges that Gregg Bell blames Jerry DiPoto for how the bullpen was built. The value of the segment is hearing both positions argued in one place.

Groz with Gas "Take 5" offers memory with reservations. In their Johnson episode, one speaker calls his season the most dominant the team has seen and, in the same stretch, recalls that Johnson threw reporters under the bus. Near the end, the talk drifts to a Florida police story about gator nuggets.

Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain posts full hours of its KJR afternoon show, ad breaks included. In Softy & Dick 4-15 Hour 3: Larry Stone, YouTube, Mariners, Hannes, the hosts float a remote broadcast at the Issaquah Ram, and someone objects that the drive home from Issaquah at 7 o'clock would take an hour and a half. It is commute arithmetic played as comedy.

Meet at the Mitt: A Seattle Mariners podcast, from Lookout Landing writers, brings more patience. What's Real and What's Not? Meet at the Mitt Podcast separates April's small-sample noise from real trends, and one panelist compares Emerson Hancock's late development to Carlos Rodón's. For an older measure of hope, Marine Layer Podcast's Episode 370: Rick Rizzs (Mariners Broadcaster) has a speaker recalling a team that was 13 games out on August 1 and came back.

Soccer from the stands, the locker room and the booth

Nos Audietis, from Sounder at Heart's Jeremiah Oshan and Aaron Campeau with Likkit Pocinwong, holds its own forecasts to account. In The Orca Boys road show has been pretty impressive this season, the hosts set the 10 points the Sounders took on the road against the five or six they had called acceptable. One host describes walking from Pioneer Square past Lumen Field as the bars switch to World Cup advertising. By September, a title reads Being winless since May could make this homestand pivotal.

Sounders FC Pod-Cast With Brad and Zak has access to coaches. In Episode 249, Steve Zakuani and Brad Evans ask coach Brian Schmetzer why he called a playoff defeat the toughest of his time at the club. His answer is that going up a man with the lead and then losing is not something that happens to the Sounders. The show's latest dated episode is from January 2026, so treat it as an archive.

Seattle Soccer Shows comes from the KJR booth. In Sounders Win 1-0 in St. Louis: Postgame Show, the crew names the whole back five man of the match and christens them the Jackson Five. Keely Dunning's Reign Weekly pushes back on treating women's sports as a novelty. Reign Weekly 4-8: Claudia Dickey and USWNT At Lumen includes the line "At a certain point, saying it's a moment starts to become insulting."

The civic week

Seattle Now, KUOW's daily news podcast, is the plainest route into local power. Early in Casual Friday with Phil Burton and Danny Ball, the headlines turn to a deadline for city transportation officials to propose fixes for the Route 8 bus, "Known to riders as the Late," under an executive order from Mayor Katie Wilson. The panel later asks whether King County Metro can return to collecting fares after halting enforcement over equity concerns. The show's autumn titles, including This WA swing district could determine the fate of the U.S. House, lead outward to the Washington page and the United States page.

GeekWire's Todd Bishop and John Cook work from Fremont. What's going on with Seattle startup funding, a Kalshi setback, Impinj's long game, and a smartphone detox sets a 40% drop in Seattle venture funding against AI money flooding into other regions. The same episode includes one host's flat objection to prediction markets as gambling.

Sunday Morning Magazine works at gentler pressure. In 4/12/26 - Lois Busby and Nicki Rocco, with "Beat the Bridge", guests explain a type 1 diabetes fundraiser in which runners try to cross the University Bridge before it rises, then finish at Husky Stadium. In 4/5/26 - Apoorva Mallya, the director of the Hepatitis Education Project describes outreach to encampments and reports a greater than 50 percent drop in new hepatitis C cases since the elimination goal was declared. Seattle Medium Rhythm & News Podcast, hosted by Chris B. Bennett, gives a guest room to describe students using GIS mapping to research diabetes.

History, faith and the stage

Rainy Day History, made by the MOHAI Youth Advisors, includes Location, Location, Location. In it, a guest recalls how International District organizers won control of a parking lot under the freeway, along with a community garden, as mitigation for a stadium. Dedication: A Centennial Story tells Seattle history through Christian Science. In S2 E15: Fort Lewis Activity (1934), church board members find nineteen people at a fort service and not a single soldier. Town Hall Seattle Arts & Culture Series hears writing described as a state of flow in 333. Karl Ove Knausgård with Elizabeth DeNoma: The School of Night.
