    Spooky Season in San Francisco
    Oct 3 2023
    It's hot out but it's still only autumn. 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.

    Rotten, Rotten Row
    Sep 26 2023
    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, shitty ships with no where else to go, until Rotten Row came to be. Join me for the world's shortest episode of Sordid SF.

  • San Francisco's Preparedness Day Bombing

    San Francisco's Preparedness Day Bombing
    Sep 11 2023

    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.

    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.
