Well, that’s a wrap! The 2025 Cascade PBS Ideas Festival took place in downtown Seattle on May 31\. But the event’s thoughtful conversations, lively debates and incisive commentary are all coming soon to your podcast feeds. 

To kick off this season of the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival podcast, host Paris Jackson catches up once more with events director Jake Newman to discuss what’s on tap for this year. 

We can expect a few returning media partners, including *The Journal,* but this time host Ryan Knutson takes the stage with travel guru Rick Steves. Plus, *Criminal* host Phoebe Judge and guest Amanda Knox will talk about life after acquittal; Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson will discuss their headline-grabbing book on President Biden with Mike Pesca from *The Gist*; and Latif Nasser, host of *Radiolab*, will join forces with Harvard historian Rebecca Lemov to dig into the history of brainwashing. 

All that and much more is on its way. A new episode of the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival podcast airs every Monday beginning June 9\.
