    Election SPECIAL!

    An extra Stud Stories Episode? Yes we love you that much that we couldn’t help ourselves!

    Fave guest host Honey Mahogany breaks into the political reporting hustle. She talks with Supervisors Hillary Ronen and Matt Haney and Stud Cooperative Worker Owner and political strategist Nate Allbee. We talk about why politics matters on the local level, and what folks can do in San Francisco this election day to create the city the want to live in. Please note this was recorded the day after the first presidential debate- a lot has happened since then, we aren’t not talking about it- because we are time travelers
