I’ve got to admit it: I was jealous last week after hearing something about my friend and colleague, KIRO Radio host John Curley.

It felt important for me to get this off my chest, so I invited John to come on my show — one hour before The Tom and Curley Show from 3-7 p.m. — so we could work it out.

John’s response to my invitation: “I’m not sure why I’m here. I don’t know if I can handle this.”

You can handle it, I assured him, because as I told him, “you’re battle toughened.”

Then, I laid it all out.

“I have a wonderful, blessed life,” I told John. “I try not to have the sin of jealously. It’s one of the seven deadly sin.”

“You should be jealous of me every day, Dori,” was John’s retort.

Find out more about what made me so envious, what John told listeners about his lifetime quest, about $22 Las Vegas Pina Coladas, and how John and I hashed it all out:

Stolen election rhetoric from Trump isn’t new. His ability to act on those claims is

Democrats, election officials and voting rights groups have long wondered whether President Donald Trump, upon his return to the Oval Office, would again attempt to overturn an election when his party is trailing. It’s no longer hypothetical. Late last week, the president directed the Department of Justice to preemptively contest a potential Republican loss in […]

Worker rights pioneer Dolores Huerta wanted others to feel seen

Dolores Huerta had spent decades advocating for labor rights and marginalized people when she went to a central California college and met a group of farmworkers’ descendants — many of them students who choked back tears over the then-94-year-old taking the time to listen to them. That was the effect Huerta had on young people, […]
