This podcast is fantastic. A true gem. I didn’t know there were others out there that love Bart as much as I do. Peter and Heather seem like people I would be friends with in real life. Love listening to this pod for a feel good happy. Their knowledge of SF past and present is incredible and I am here for it.
I moved here mid-pandemic and this show has helped me discover my new city - it’s like listening to friends tell you the hidden secrets that only the locals know! Love it.
Heather is the best! I love this show 😊
A must listen for anyone who loves The City.
San Francisco is a fascinating city full of interesting people and whether Heather is bringing the serious questions or Peter has been digging through the archive, they uncover wonderful stories that will help you fall in love with the city again. A must-listen.
