Doomloop Dispatch

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. This is a solo show where I, Kevin L. Jones, discuss recent headlines such as the Dolores Park Hill Bomb happening without police interference, how the lack of new buildings are the fault of developers and why I knew about Jay Johnston being a Jan. 6th rioter before most people.

Welcome to Doomloop Dispatch, the show about the worst things going on in the San Francisco Bay Area. This week, hosts D. Scot Miller and Kevin L. Jones speak with Refilwe Gqajela from the Anti-Police Terror Project about the Cop City project planned for San Pablo.

Hello and welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m your host, Kevin L.Jones, and I’m just doing a short one this week where I’m shooting from the hip! No really, I’m improvising. I didn’t have time to work on a full episode this week and I might not have one next week either because I’m promoting a hip hop show next Saturday and it’s taking all my time.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show about the worst things in the San Francisco Bay Area. This week I talked to the former managing editor of the East Bay Express, D. Scot Miller, about his work and the state of local news media. If you want to know what happened to that once revered publication and hear some real wisdom from a man who has seen it all, then you’ll want to tune in.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show about the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, I talk with State Senate candidate Jovanka Beckles. In short, Beckles is a real hero for the progressive left in the Bay Area. She’s taken on Chevron, the Obama political machine, and every other corporate villain or institutional enemy trying to hurt the people. It’s a great talk that I think everyone can learn from. BTW I am definitely NOT objective in this interview. I want Beckles to win and I want YIMBY bootlicker AKA mayor of Berkeley Jesse Arreguin to lose. You’ll hear why in the interview.
