Seaside 101Author: City of Seaside, Oregon
Seaside 101 is a student-produced, municipal-government overview podcast about the City of Seaside, Oregon. Each episode, produced by Seaside High School students, gathers the perspectives and thoughts from department heads (Season One - 2021-22) within the City of Seaside as well as perspectives on hot-button and important issues (Season Two - 2022-23) happening in Seaside, Oregon and throughout Oregons North Coast region. Seniors Aiden Ousley and Mary Roberto started this project in the winter of 2021, collecting interviews in the fall and producing episodes as they wrapped up their final trimester before graduation in the spring of 2022. Season Two is being led by seniors Abby Nofield, Ryan Varozza and Brody Hillman. Episodes were recorded with more than 15 guests over the course of four months and will be released in the late winter and early spring of 2023. Supported with administrative help at the City of Seaside, this project was a collaborative effort and placed 2nd at the Oregon High School Future Business Leaders of America State Conference and Competition.

A Discussion with Seaside’s Governing Body
Episode 5
Friday, 10 March, 2023
For the fifth episode of season two, we focus not only city governance - by sitting down with our mayor and one of our six city councilors, but all of the new changes the city has experienced over the past year. We are first joined by Seth Morrisey, City Councilor representing Ward's 3 and 4 for the City of Seaside. As a lifelong resident of Seaside and Oregon's North Coast region, Councilor Morrisey talks about the dynamics of a city council, explains to us the importance of having "wards," his and the council's current goals, and what he hopes to see for the future. Our second guest is Seaside's new mayor, Steve Wright, elected in November 2022. Mayor Wright, Seaside's 34th mayor since being incorporated in 1899, has been a resident of Seaside for many years, and involved in city government for a large portion of those. Steve talks about what he's seen in the past, along with what he hopes to implement during his time as mayor.
