When John Moe let us know he was leaving KUOW, our first question was, "What about The Works?"

Did you listen to The Works this week? We haven't yet. It's cocked and loaded on the iPod which ran out of batteries before we could listen to John Moe talk about Nerd Core and interview MC Plus+. We're not looking forward to it anymore, though, because now we're going to have to listen to it while knowing that John Moe is leaving KUOW. He's moving to Weekend America, which, yeah, is great and all, but what about us, John?

Here are links to the blogs Seattlest Seth mentioned on tonight's "The Works" with John Moe:

We guarantee there's one person in town who won't be listening to Seattlest Seth on the radio tonight: Seattlest Seth. We have it on good authority that he hates his own voice.

Seattlest loves John Moe, so we figured it was high time we interviewed him. Don't know Moe? He's the voice behind KUOW's The Works, Power of Voice (sometimes), and amusing weather updates. He's also a frequent contributor to McSweeney's, a blogger, and an author with a book to promote.

Ok we all know that the Ricky Gervais podcast is the greatest thing to ever appear on the internet and everyone has a favorite random cast that they subscribe to, but what are the best Seattle-focused podcasts? We’ll give you a list of our favorites, but we’re willing to be turned on to any others.

The radio, as a communications tool, still shares more with the internet than it does with, say, cave drawings, but you have to admit it is getting up there in years. Nothing rolls back the clock like spending some quality time with the kids, though. Witness NPR checking in on the local internets tonight.

The number of name brand alt/tech/culture journalist heroines Seattlest is aware of can be counted on one finger, and so far our city has spawned none of those. We have to look to our little sister metro down south to find the breeding grounds of the Xeni Jardin. San Francisco, of course, is ground zero for Xeni production in the United States, although it's possible that chronologically she hasn't been born yet and is only stuck in our current reality for as long as it will take some hacker of the future to recode the time machine he used to ship her back here in the first place.
