Why former Sacramento City Manager Howard Chan returned after resigning. Also, KCRA’s extended version of its Holocaust documentary “Always Remember Your Name.” Finally, the monthly storytelling series “In A Nutshell” launches at The SOFIA.

Former City Manager Howard Chan Returns
Earlier this month the Sacramento City Council appointed Leyne Milstein to serve as the interim city manager after Howard Chan - who drew criticism, in part, due to a high salary - resigned from the position after the city council voted not to extend his contract. However, just hours after the City Council approved Milstein’s contract, Chan announced that he’d be starting a new position - special advisor to the city manager, with a similar salary. CapRadio reporters Tony Rodriguez and Gerardo Zavala join Insight to explain how this was possible, as the City Council continues its nationwide search for a permanent replacement.

Holocaust Documentary ‘Always Remember Your Name’
Monday marks a powerful milestone during the Holocaust. Jan. 27 is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is the site where more than one million people were murdered - most of whom were Jewish. In honor of this moment in history, KCRA will be airing an extended version of its documentary Always Remember Your Name which chronicles the life of a Holocaust survivor who now calls Sacramento home. You can watch the 90 minute version on KCRA on Sunday Jan. 26 at 7pm and on MY58 on Monday Jan. 27 at 8pm. KCRA Anchor and reporter Deirdre Fitzpatrick, Special Projects Producer Dave Manoucheri, and Photojournalist Victor Nieto join us about bringing this documentary to life.

‘In A Nutshell’ Storytelling Series
Our need to tell stories can be traced back to ancient cave paintings. The best stories are engaging, entertaining and informative. A new show premiering Jan. 31 at The SOFIA Home of The B Street  in Sacramento aims to capture that magic live. In a Nutshell - Mostly True Stories is a monthly storytelling show hosted by comedian Keith Lowell Jensen, who is known for telling a pretty good tale himself. Jensen teamed up with fellow Sacramento writers Amy Bee and Aaron Carnes to curate a show featuring four different storytellers each month. Jensen joins us, along with Beau Ryder Davis, who has appeared on The Moth podcast (you can listen here) to talk about why stories are so important to the human experience.
