  • Get there first

    A true testimony to the stock phrase “rather be lucky than good.” The only game in town for people interested in Oakland, San Leandro, and Alameda elected officials. Basically a morning zoo crew on Zoloft doing mildly spicy takes on East Bay politics. Listen to two oafs try to out Dumb Guy each other in between morsels of the insider gossip that ought to be the show’s focus. The newsletter is MUCH better. Make sure you subscribe to that, and think of this podcast like a barnacle on the substack... more

  • Not what I thought it would be 😕

    This was my first experience and I’m not impressed. The two hosts seem to be trying to be a “morning zoo”. Maybe because Scott Haggerty is on?? The lady they had on was good at trying to get the conversation back on track. I wanted to find a podcast that would give me info on east bay politics - this is not that. I might try one more just to see if it gets better.

  • This is great

    I read Steve’s work in the east bay news outlets and like his good solid reporting. His podcast is a nice mix of humor, politics and is a lot of fun. He’s got his own take on things and I dig it. Also, he’s an opened minded person. As a fellow progressive, I like to hear my conservative friends opinions because we’re friends and that matters most! So listen to the podcast with his friend who’s the republican consultant and you’ll see what I mean.

  • Local at its best

    I've been a member of local media in several markets over the past 35 years- local coverage is being ignored at most levels & independent journalists like Steve Tavares are needed now more than ever.

    Podcasts like his are THE only way for me to keep track of what’s going on in my former home town- Keep it up Steve, congrats on the launch
