    Life after NUMMI

    We wrap up Season 1 of The Bridge with one of our favorite stories - about the aftermath of the closure of the NUMMI car factory in Fremont, California. What happens when 5,000 people lose their jobs in an area where there are no other car factories for hundreds of miles? KALW's Angela Johnston goes to find out.

    Exploring the Bay Area one street corner at a time

    THE INTERSECTION is one of the most ambitious reporting projects to come out of KALW. It's a podcast that explores change in the Bay Area one street corner at a time. We'll listen to an episode from Season 1 of the show, which takes place entirely at the corner of Golden Gate Ave and Leavenworth St in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. While many people associate this neighborhood with homelessness and drug dealing, it also has the highest density of kids in the city. In this episode, we see the Tenderloin through the eyes of one child and her family. To learn more about THE INTERSECTION and hear the rest of Season 1, go to www.theintersection.fm For links to all of KALW's podcasts, go to kalw.org/subscribe

    Real heroes read audits

    San Francisco voters approved over $3 billion in loans for public infrastructure over the last decade. Some of the people who make sure these projects stay on track are ordinary citizens who spend their free time reading bond reports. Who ... signs up for this?

    Inside San Quentin Prison

    The backstory to this week's show is almost as interesting as the story itself. That's because it came out of the San Quentin Prison Report, a unique collaboration between KALW and a group of inmates at San Quentin State Prison who are telling their own stories of life on the inside. In this episode, we take a sonic tour of San Quentin and hear a story of forgiveness from behind prison walls.
