  • Well researched, Great Pace

    This is so interesting to hear these Bay Area stories in more detail than I have ever heard before. I grew up eating Santos’s linguica. It was amazing. I remember as kid going into the shop. Thank you this detailed research. Jane’s story was always a rumored one. It was fascinating to hear all of the layers and Possibilities. Really a great podcast. I have sent it to a lot of friends and family.

  • Really wanted to like!

    The story was interesting and the presenter did a good job, but it could have used some serious editing. This should have been six episodes at most. For a very compelling story, it got downright boring at times. I hope the presenter continues to present stories and continues to hone her craft.
