Customer Reviews
Not just for San Fran Fans
The San Francisco Experience is not just for locals….the content is timely and relevant from coast to coast. Jim’s delivery is smooth and easy on the ears. His perspectives are refreshing and thought provoking. Listening to Jim’s podcast is both enlightening and enjoyable. I find myself looking forward to the next episode!
Conservative bias
Their coverage on the recalls, particularly the DA recall, are incredibly off. Looks like the misinformation campaign against Chesa Boudin worked, and these centrists and right-wingers continue to repeat the same lies that have been easily debunked.
