Welcome to a special episode of Spokast! I'm diving into the unexpected success of an Instagram REEL I posted of Sydney Sweeney's mention of Spokane in her opening monologue from the March 2nd, 2024, episode of Saturday Night Live.

I mainly wanted to reflect on why I posted the clip, unpack the positive and negative comments it has received, and share my genuine pride in our beloved "town" of Spokane, WA.

As someone who advocates for our city, I want to share the importance of fostering a more positive representation of Spokane and why that matters.
