Portland City Council District 3 Candidate Brandon Mullen
Brandon Mullen has spent 12 years working in city and regional government: Now he wants to enter the political ring. Mullen is running for Portland City Council District 3 (SE). His expansive platform reflects his urban planning and transportation experience, as well as stints managing projects for City of Portland and Metro.
Brandon rolled over to The Shed yesterday and we had an expansive conversation that touched on everything from basketball (we're both big fans) to budgets. If you live in D3 and want help figuring out how best to rank the 10 (so far) candidates, you need to listen to this episode.

Evan Schneider, Mark Hoffman and the new film, 'A Simple Machine'
A Simple Machine is more than just a film, it’s a deeply Portland project that brings our beautiful city and the humble bicycle to the big screen while presenting important and relevant themes that many of us can relate to.
I recently sat down in The Shed with Evan P. Schneider, who wrote the book, A Simple Machine, Like the Lever (Propeller Books) that inspired the film; and Mark Alan Hoffman, the film’s creator and director. We talked about the creative process, the film’s deeper meanings, how Evan’s story from 2011 still resonates in 2026, and much more. Evan even read a few passages from the book!
Pull up a chair or turn up the volume and join us for a chat in the Shed.

Bicycle Racing in Oregon with Chuck Kenlan
In this episode I talked with Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA) Executive Director Chuck
Kenlan. OBRA just wrapped up their annual meeting and the 2026 racing season kicked off last weekend. I asked Chuck about: the health of bike racing in Oregon, some of the big and exciting races, how OBRA remains an inclusive and welcoming organization, how their transgender participation policy has changed in recent years, and much more.
