    The spookiest films based in San Francisco.

    San Francisco has been the subject of many movies including some scary ones so let's kick off October with some SF movies based out of SF. I think as a culture, we need to talk more about Interview with a Vampire more anyway.

  3. Rotten, Rotten Row

    Rotten, Rotten Row

    SF's shoreline is fake, did you know that? It's all an illusion. Just kidding, it's landfill. Thanks to the Gold Rush, the SF Bay was inundated with old, s****y ships with no where else to go, until Rotten Row came to be. Join me for the world's shortest episode of Sordid SF.

    Mary Ellen Pleasant, a Friend of John Brown

    Mary Ellen Pleasant was a lot of things, but a weak woman wasn't one. Mary Ellen came from the humblest of beginnings in the South during the time of slavery and through ingenuity and hustle, became not only one of the wealthiest women California had ever known, but more importantly the "Mother of civil rights in California".

  5. San Francisco's Preparedness Day Bombing

    San Francisco's Preparedness Day Bombing

    San Francisco was victim to it's own act of terror back in 1916 right on Market Street. Before the US got involved in World War 1, there was a big movement - a preparedness movement to get the US ready to go engage in combat. Not everyone liked this...and so a plot of direct action unfolded resulting in multiple convictions, acquittals, and a lot of other drama. We're coming out swinging in Season 3 so buckle in and let's get going.

    Deaf Punk

    You might've seen that Vice video circulating around about San Francisco's deaf punk scene, so let's get into it a bit more. Here is your reminder that punk isn't dead and neither is San Francisco. Thanks to my wonderful friend Melissa for turning me on to this story.

    Bob Lee and the Dangers of Tech

    The murder of Bob Lee by alleged killer Nima Momeni rocked the tech world. Many were quick to blame San Francisco's politics and drug epidemic on the murder, but of course, the truth is always stranger than fiction. The main suspect in this murder was someone Bob Lee knew, not an unhoused person in the midst of a drug fueled rage. This week we're covering the who's who of this case and going over the timeline of the murder. Let's speculate together.
