Every week we gather a few local commentators to talk about some of the stories of the week — from the arts to sports to politics and more. Our guests tell us what they're thinking about and we ignite the conversation.

The idea is to get a casual, but thoughtful, conversation going about the events and subjects that are being discussed in the cubicles, kitchens, and coffee shops of our region.

This week our conversation includes a New York Magazine article that says we never truly leave high school, Washington's search for a "pot consultant," and the cycle of pop culture bringing the 1990s back (not just in Portland).

What's on your mind this week?

GUESTS:

Courtenay Hameister: Host and head writer of Live Wire!
Eric Fruits: Managing economist at Nathan Associates and adjunct professor of urban economics at Portland State University
Janna Lopez: Publisher of Portland Family
