We were fucking STOKED to have council member Kate Burke sit down and chat with us! Since she is such a busy woman, we dove right into it while shoving donuts and coffee down our gullets. 

Lara rehashes her first strip club experience (complete with lap dance). Kate recounts how a sports injury changed her life in high school and changed her focus from basketball to giving back to her community, launching her into an extensive volunteer history. She's worked with underprivileged kids, people experiencing homelessness, and also spent a summer working on a Vermont farm. Seeing the gap between resources and the people that need them the most led Burke to the world of politics and policy. She became a session aide for Senator Andy Billig and is a current Spokane council member. She dishes about navigating the complicated sphere of local government and the "radical" ideas she has for Spokane.
