    EPISODE #21 (Rising Voices): Susana Millman & Dennis McNally

    As part of our new Rising Voice Series, I'm so thrilled to welcome photographer, hipster, mamarazi Susana Millman and her other half, Dennis McNally - historian, author, publicist for the Grateful Dead for over 30 years. Jerry Garcia walked Susana down the aisle to Dennis, indicating just what a couple cool cats these two are. Keep your ears peeled for a "reveal" of this Summer's special interactive art, music, history installations. Keep your eyes peeled -- and your heart open!

    Episode #19: Aindreas O'Donnell, co-owner of Mary's On Haight Bar

    What a hoot it was getting to know Aindreas O'Donnell (on Christmas Eve 2025 no less, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!) -- of Mary's on Haight aka the legendary Haight gay bar, Trax. His thick Irish brogue is absolutely lovely and heartwarming -- and his personality matches, spot-on. We're so glad he's bringing that welcoming vibe to the old Trax Bar. Now, as Mary's On Haight, the place is poppin' every time I walk by, and the vibe is fun, kind, welcoming. Come on up get to know this vibrant Irish soul!

    EPISODE #18: Laine Wiesemann: SF Artist, 415 ZINE Co-Founder

    Meet Laine Wiesemann ("wise woman" she quips!) a California native, incredible SF artist, and co-founder of 415 ZINE (https://www.415zine.com/) a quarterly publication that she and her colleague Alfredo Sainz -- a fellow SF artist -- founded back in 2023. They've been friends for years, having regular tea and coffee meetings to discuss artistic endeavors and goals. During an outing in the Haight Alfredo busted out paper samples and said, "let's make an art zine." Laine was shocked. "I had an idea for an art magazine just this week!" The name and concept quickly came together. Serendipitous collaboration and enthusiasm has resulted in a fresh zine that aims to promote local artists, and connect people to art, artists & art establishments in San Francisco. The publication is named after the location's area code, 415, a number well known by any native or local. Here's Laine sharing her story with Haight Street Voice Radio, December 2025. Enjoy!

    EPISODE #17: Writer, Musician, Teacher, Friend ...Cary Tennis

    Cary Tennis is probably best known for his Salon.com column, Since You Asked -- and irreverent yet kind Dear Abby kind of thing. Hilarious and heartfelt. He went on to teach the Amherst writing workshops at he and his wife Norma's cool home by Ocean Beach -- a marvelous moment in time. Around 2016, they up and moved to Italy for good. Cary continues to teach, play music with Italians, and explore what life is all about via his incredible writings. I was over the moon to have him up to the HSV Radio space and chat about the Haight, SF, punk rock, the good old days, and much more. Check out Cary and his amazing writing workshops in Europe: http://www.carytennis.com

    EPISODE #16: Red Vic Movie House on Haight: Remembrances from Betsy Rix, Jack Rix, Rhian Miller

    These folks have wonderful stories and recollections of being a part of the collective behind the Red Vic. What a treat to have them up to HSV Radio to clear the record that they are NOT the reason the space is boarded up and sitting there these past years. Take it away Betsy, Jack and Rhian!!

    The stories this guy has to tell. What a treat and honor to have Big Steve Parish up at Haight Street Voice Radio, sharing so many incredible moments in his mind ever since he started hanging with the Grateful Dead way back in the mid-'60s as a gangster-type kid from Queens, New York -- with peace and love and a million-other states of being in front of him. Here's PART 1 of our nearly 2-hour hang. Dig!

    EPISODE #14: Eric McFadden & Kate Vargas of Sgt. Splendor

    What a hoot was had on Haight Street Voice Radio with my old pal, troubadour Eric McFadden and his guitar-slinging, flute-wrangling and singing partner in crime Kate Vargas -- both of the scrumptious Sgt. Splendor (https://sgtsplendor.com/). Come have a hang with these incredibly talented, lovely, funny, and inspiring souls and hear about their backing Joan Baez at the Soiled Dove Immersive Circus & Dinner Show in Alameda, and then again with Joan at the No Kings rally here in San Francisco (wtf these guys rock!). Love you Kate & Eric!
